General Oleksandr Syrskyi, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, also congratulated the tankers:

"Our tank soldiers have advanced experience in combat operations in a new type of warfare, and almost the entire world wants to adopt this experience. After all, new tactics of using armored vehicles are now being used, taking into account effective counteraction to enemy fpv drones and other unmanned vehicles.

He also expressed his gratitude to the Ukrainian tank builders, mechanical engineers and craftsmen who work around the clock to repair and restore Ukrainian and trophy armored vehicles. 

Defense Minister Rustem Umerov showed footage of the work of the Ukrainian military on the day of tank troops.

"In extremely difficult conditions, your tanks are quick to attack, breaking through enemy lines, and during defense, they skillfully restrain the enemy's advance," he added.

Recall

This year, Ukraine is celebrating Tank Troops Day for the second time on September 14. Tanker Day was established in 1997 by President Leonid Kuchma's decree to support the initiative of Ukrainian tank veterans and tank builders.

In 2023, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy abolished the celebration of the "Soviet" Tanker Day (September 10) and signed a decree establishing the Day of Tank Troops in Ukraine, which will be celebrated annually on September 14. These changes are aimed at honoring the courage and heroism of tankers who defend the freedom, independence and territorial integrity of Ukraine, as well as at establishing new military traditions.
