Currently, Lieutenant Vernihora is in command of a tank company and is destroying the invaders in eastern Ukraine.The legendary battle, in which the crew of Vernihora destroyed three armored personnel carriers and one tank, became famous, as its main moments were recorded by drone cameras.“They were simply stunned, they didn’t know what to do. They ran away en masse, jumped out of the headquarters. They left the checkpoint, which we then smashed to smithereens. At that moment it was raining with sleet. The armor was wet and the pixel camouflage patterns were not visible. First the Russian tank, which aimed at us, did not fire, because they thought that we were their fighters. The Russians had the same tanks, T-72B. The last tank in the column fired and hit us. There was a little jump, but the gunner did not lose his head and began shooting a series of shells on the Russian tanks. Fortunately, he battered the last tank,” Vernihora tells about the details of the battle.
