Innovative tactics of the Uzov Brigade and what happened to the Russian tank

Since its first day, the ongoing war in Ukraine has witnessed many developments that have astonished the whole world. Firstly, it became clear that Russia, which has one of the largest armies in the world, had chosen a style of planning at the strategic level that was disconnected from reality.
Shortly afterwards, it became clear that Russian armoured units attempting to advance in long convoys along main roads were unable to do so due to the incompetence of commanders at the operational level. Russian commanders at the tactical level, on the other hand, were unable to command and control their troops, let alone their personnel.
As a result, the huge Russian army, which seemed to be so powerful that it would cause every state to worry, lost thousands of tanks and armoured vehicles against the modest Ukrainian army, which was thought to be no match for it. These vehicles were neutralised with a wide variety of weapons, from UCAVs to IEDs, from laser-guided anti-tank weapons to conventional anti-tank weapons and even Molotov cocktails.
Nevertheless, these were not the most surprising things. For, due to the poor logistics system of the Russians, many tanks and armoured vehicles were left in the middle of the road because they ran out of fuel or broke down. Indeed, the tragicomic images of peasants or nomadic gypsies towing such abandoned armoured vehicles with tractors and handing them over to the Ukrainian army were greeted with astonishment all over the world.
As the war dragged on, the Russians realised the gravity of the situation. They began to identify and correct their mistakes and shortcomings. First, they made changes in the command structure. In order to ensure unity of command, synchronisation and orchestration, they appointed an operational commander and attached all units to him. They also replaced some commanders at the operative and strategic levels who had failed.
Then, they moved towards changing the force structure, which was dominated by armoured units. They increased the number of infantry in armoured units or assigned infantry units under the command of armoured units. Thus, armoured vehicles started to be protected by infantry.
Another area of innovation was the protection systems of tanks and armoured vehicles, which were shot down in thousands in a short period of time, which was disappointing. Russian tanks and armoured vehicles, which were destroyed along with their crews and whose prestige was shaken all over the world, started to be equipped with additional protective equipment. 
These improvements were not only centrally planned and executed. Improvements were also made at the unit level in the form of continental production, some of which created comical images. Although the world press made fun of them for a long time, these efforts seem to have partly worked. As a matter of fact, Russian tanks are no longer shot down as much as before, and those that are shot down are no longer incapacitated with their turrets flying off and their entire crew. 
However, there are still some incidents that make one say ‘How did this happen?’. While browsing news about the war on the internet, one such incident caught my attention. According to the news, the soldiers of Ukraine's Uzov Brigade captured a Russian tank and started to use it themselves. The captured tank is an improved T-72 B3M tank, which is said to have been manufactured in 2022. 
According to one of the team that captured the tank, the incident happened as follows:
‘A Russian unit attempted a limited targeted attack, thinking that the conditions were favourable. However, the troops of the Uzov Brigade, who were following the Russians closely, hit most of the vehicles of the attacking Russian unit with heavy artillery fire and anti-tank weapons. The remaining vehicles and infantry were finished off by FPVs, which are drones for civilian purposes. 
Thus, most of the tanks and armoured vehicles were destroyed. Only one Russian tank survived and started to turn back and flee. However, it crashed into a damaged Russian tank and stopped. The tank crew, frightened by the FPVs flying over them, got out and ran away instead of trying to save the tank. However, they were shot down by the drones as they fled.
When the Uzov Brigade troops realised from the drone footage that the tank was still intact and usable, they decided to capture it. However, this had to be done secretly, as the tank was 300-400 metres from the Russian positions.
Therefore, it was decided to act at night. One night, a team of tank crew, medics and infantry went to the tank under the cover of drones. Although the tank was hit in the turret by an FPV, anti-tank gun or artillery, it was not destroyed because the new protection systems worked. However, the batteries of the electronic warfare systems installed on the sides of the tank were depleted due to too much current draw.
For this reason, the team could not start the tank and returned. The next evening, a team of 7 people with charged batteries infiltrated the tank again and fixed minor malfunctions by installing the batteries. Since they were very close to the Russians and could not use lights, this process took a long time. When the work was completed, the team returned without starting the tank as it was about to get light. 
On the third evening, a tank driver and a gunner sneaked up to the tank. They started the tank and drove it towards the Ukrainian lines. At first the Russians thought that the tank was coming towards them and opened artillery fire in front of them. However, they soon realised the truth and shifted their fire forward. 
Despite the intense Russian artillery fire, the tank managed to return intact to the Ukrainian lines without using any illumination equipment (not even an unrepairable malfunctioning night vision system) to avoid being seen. Thus, the Russians lost a tank and the Ukrainians gained a new one. 
This story shows us that no matter how advanced weapons technology is, weapons cannot win victories. For this reason; it is a mistake to downsize armies almost all over the world, to focus more on technology by putting the human factor in the background. As it is sung in a song, the main thing in war is human beings.
‘Your tank is neither strong nor powerful
He crushes a hundred people
But there's one flaw
It needs people to drive.’
As can be understood from this example, the training of military personnel should be given more importance than before. Training should not only focus on military matters, but should also emphasise the need to instil in military personnel a sense of patriotism and a warrior spirit.
