Video footage of Ukrainian tractor drivers allegedly moving an abandoned Russian T-72B3 tank began circulating on social media on Monday, September 12.
“In the video, Ukrainian tractor drivers are taking away the T-72B3 tank abandoned by the russians,” read a tweet posted alongside footage of the incident.

It is unclear whether the Ukrainian tractor driver is the same in both videos.
Production for the T-72, a family of Soviet/Russian main battle tanks, began in 1969.
The T-72 evolved from the T-64 Russian tank that was suffering from issues related to cost and outdated technology.
An estimated 25,000 T-72 Russian tanks have since been built, with refurbishment allowing the tanks to serve in many countries for decades.
The T-72 battle tank has served in over 40 countries and numerous conflicts. It was followed by the T-90 tank in 1992, but its production and development still continues.
