- Ukraine copied Russia's tactics of driving a tank filled with explosives toward an enemy position.
- The brigade told Insider the driver had to position the tank, jam the accelerator, and jump out.
- The mission was so dangerous that no one was ordered to do it. Instead, volunteers were sought.
The Ukrainian soldier who drove a tank converted into a bomb toward a Russian position had to get it close, jam the accelerator down, and jump out of a hatch before it exploded, according to his brigade.
