A whole bunch of experts in tanks gathered in the comments, who only today found out that Soviet tanks can be used for indirect fire, but now they confidently claim that we are spreading propaganda, lying, and so on.

@UAWeapons:
#Ukraine: What is possibly the longest tank-to-tank kill ever - a Ukrainian T-64BV tank crew reportedly managed to destroy a Russian tank from a distance of 10600 meters in indirect fire mode using 125mm HE-FRAG projectiles. As claimed, it took 20 projectiles to finish the tank. https://t.co/Rv05uTJroC

We recommend at least reading up on this topic before opening your mouth and speaking so confidently.

Standard firing tables for 3VOF36 HE-FRAG rounds include ranges of up to 12100 meters - an elevation angle of ~22° is required to fire at this distance. And ~14° for 10000 meters.
It is possible to fire even further but the chances of hitting the target are dramatically reduced.

In this case, the target is an empty Russian tank, which was detected by a Ukrainian drone - the drone is also used for fire correction.
Since Feb 24th we have seen dozens of videos where tanks are used for indirect fire role using HE-FRAG projectiles.

#Ukraine: An abandoned Russian MT-LB armored personnel carrier was destroyed by indirect fire from a Ukrainian T-64BM2 tank of the 22nd Separate Motorized Infantry Battalion in the vicinity of Slobozhanske, #Kharkiv Oblast. https://t.co/34oNV3jeoL

And to everybody saying that no tank can be destroyed by HE projectiles- this is a ridiculous claim, considering that huge quantities of armoured vehicles are destroyed by HE-FRAG projectiles from Ukrainian artillery- which are extremely similar.

@UAWeapons:
#Ukraine: The K2 Unit of the 54th Mechanized Brigade struck a Russian column somewhere in #Donetsk Oblast with artillery fire- as a result, 5x BMP IFV/Tanks were destroyed, with damage to others likely. https://t.co/a9ITYdcs0C

We cannot confirm if the tank was actually destroyed from a distance of 10800 meters, but it is quite possible, since these tanks were originally designed to do so.
With modern tools in the form of UAVs and ballistic software - this becomes even easier.
