Ukrainian soldiers from the 225th Separate Assault Regiment spent approximately nine hours recovering a damaged T-72 tank after Russian drone strikes left one of its tracks completely immobilized. According to the 225th Separate Assault Regiment, its recovery unit used a WZT-3 armored recovery vehicle to retrieve the tank, despite mechanical damage that prevented it from moving under its own power. The T-72 had sustained damage during Russian drone attacks. When the recovery team reached the vehicle, they discovered that the track on one side could no longer rotate, significantly complicating efforts to move the tank from its position.

The soldiers used a WZT-3, a Polish-designed armored recovery vehicle based on the T-72 chassis, to tow the damaged tank with one side of its running gear immobilized.

Footage published by the 225th Separate Assault Regiment shows the recovery operation, which required approximately nine hours to complete.

The regiment confirmed that the tank had been successfully evacuated and transferred for repairs. Once restored, the vehicle is expected to return to combat operations.

In June 2026, the United Kingdom disclosed that it had supplied Ukraine with six T-72 main battle tanks in 2025, alongside other armored vehicles and military equipment. The deliveries were listed in Britain’s submission to the UN Register of Conventional Arms. The declared package included armored vehicles and tanks, artillery, naval assets, missiles, unmanned aerial systems, small arms, and support vehicles.

Among the armored equipment listed were six T-72 main battle tanks, 50 Warthog all-terrain vehicles, two Warthog recovery vehicles, 53 Huskey armored vehicles, 46 Roshel Senator armored vehicles, 20 M113A1B armored personnel carriers, and seven Mastiff vehicles.

The UK also declared the transfer of one FV432 armored personnel carrier, one Spartan Mk.2, one CVr-T Sultan, and one Pinzgauer Vector 718 6×6. The list also included a wide range of support vehicles, such as Foden DROPS, Leyland DROPS, Land Rover Snatch protected patrol vehicles, MAN HX60 trucks, MAN Cat 1 vehicles, JCB 4VC backhoes, JCB 3CX vehicles, Volvo F12 trucks, Oshkosh M1070F heavy equipment transporters, and other vehicles.

In the artillery category, the UK reported the transfer of six AS90 self-propelled howitzers.

The naval section was also substantial. Britain declared the transfer of 60 combat naval vessels, 20 Avon W525 dive boats, and 30 IRC Mk.3 inflatable boats.

The missile category included 5,000 air-to-surface missiles.

The largest numbers appeared in the drone category. The UK declared 12,565 unmanned aerial vehicles, 12,000 fixed-wing strike drones, 50 Altius 600M loitering munitions, and 172,350 rotor-type strike drones. Britain also reported major deliveries of small arms and light weapons, including 1,980 pistols, 750 assault rifles, five sniper rifles, 100 sporting rifles, 2,772 shotguns, 60 machine guns, 100 light machine guns, several hundred general-purpose machine guns, 1,900 heavy machine guns, and one piece of small-caliber artillery below 75mm.

The scale of the declaration places the UK among the largest publicly declared arms suppliers to Ukraine in the UN register for the reporting year.
