"I realized that I was born a tank driver", - an interview with Comrade Sima, commander of the 2nd tank platoon of the 2nd tank company "Steel Wolves" of the Third Assault Brigade. In 2010, he served in "Desna", in the 300th training tank regiment. With the beginning of the full-scale war, he was in the guard company, then - a signalman. On the Zaporizhzhia direction, he was a rifleman covering the engineering group. Having updated the skills of a tank driver and mastered a tank in 3 months, Sima began his service as a mechvod, and then became a commander.
"Not that I was dreaming, I realized that I was born a tanker. A person may not know this. You need to get into a tank once and you will understand whether you are a tank driver or not. This is adrenaline, excitement. "When I'm in a tank, I have emotions like I'm euphoric, I feel like you're immortal," says the soldier.
In this interview, Seema talked about his extreme assault and situations during combat operations where he was lucky to get out alive. According to the tanker of the 3rd OShBr, decisions that save lives in life-threatening situations are often made instantly.
"It feels like someone is leading you because it's thoughtless. Such decisions are made in a fraction of a second, it just comes to mind - this must be done. I have had such feelings many times, I trust them and it works," he says.
The fighter dreams of a tank duel with the enemy and new tanks with the help of which it would be possible to destroy the enemy more effectively.
"Give me new tanks, give Leclerc - it's optics, firing range, crew safety. In "Leopard", there will be no such thing as a hit and the tower flies away. There is a back compartment where the BC is in a capsule, it just flies away. More electronics, screens, more zoom on the scope. You can do your job more efficiently and hit," says Sima, noting that the more effective the armored vehicles are, the easier it is for the attack aircraft to fight.
"I only think about how I can do my job best to help the infantry as much as possible to make it easier for them to advance. Do not envy the infantry. The infantry of the Third Assault Division are tigers who take kilometers of landings in a couple of hours, who go into battle without stopping. That must be scary, I'm not scared in a tank," says a tankman of the 3rd OShBr.
In this video, Sim's friend told about how it is when "Gradu" shells fly 5 meters away, why they named their tank "Zhevzhik" and what they are going to do after the victory.
