The action is happening at the small pivot point between Novoselivske and Kuzemivka.
russian tankers went up and down the road to get into the line of sight of the supposed Ukrainian positions and moved back quickly before something like Javelin can lock on the tank.

One of the rounds lands at the pin which I marked explosion one. This is happening because the tank didn't yet get into the line of sight and fired.
In a perfect scenario, the tanks have to be firing from different positions, to avoid the fear of being hit by a guided ATGM

However, firing an ATGM in such a scenario and only 550 distance is quite dangerous. Because T90M supposes to detect a laser-guided missile (I think).
The barrel stabilizer of the tanks is either off, or isn't functioning properly. The barrels swing back and forward.
But the main point is that this tactic is hard to counter if you are infantry and have only something like Javelin or NLAW.
There are a โฌ๏ธcouple of things your unit can do
There are a โฌ๏ธcouple of things your unit can do
1โฃArtillery, if you have a battery of 155mm artillery waiting, and have a really good chain of command it's possible. However, having your artillery sitting on the positions for too long can result in a Lancet drone into your face. Also, you would probably only scare tanks off.
2โฃFrontal engagement by your armor group. I am talking about frontal, because the area around it is heavily mined, and flaking is a dangerous operation in this specific area. North and south from the
3โฃRemote mining of the area with munitions such as 155mm RAAM in advance. Because the area of engagement here is somewhat limited, you can predict possible routes and use RAAM to mine those positions.
Which later happens in this area, and one of the tanks is destroyed

location of the destroyed T90M
Location of firing T-90Ms

Of course, keep in mind that there are multiple other means of destroying these tanks, I just wanted to share my thoughts on this one.
