The 4th Guards Kantemirovskaya Tank Division (military unit 19612) is one of the most recognizable tank formations of the Russian Armed Forces, stationed near Moscow in Naro-Fominsk. Despite the division's widespread fame, detailed and verifiable data on its combat path and losses specifically during the war against Ukraine could not be found in open sources — the topic warrants a separate in-depth search.



The 4th Guards Kantemirovskaya Order of Lenin Red Banner Tank Division named after Yu. V. Andropov was formed in June 1942 in Stalingrad as the 17th Tank Corps and is part of the 1st Guards Tank Army. The division's personnel participated in peacekeeping operations in South Ossetia (1997), Kosovo (1998–2002), and counter-terrorist operations in Chechnya. Confirmed, detailed data on the division's participation in specific combat episodes of the Special Military Operation or its losses have not been found in open sources, despite its status as one of Russia's most famous tank formations.
