Russian lieutenant proposes to girlfriend with 16-tank display

MOSCOW — A platoon commander in Russia decided to propose to his girlfriend in a most unusual way – with the help of military tanks.

According to RT, Lieutenant Denis Kazantsev got permission from his commanders to carry out his big proposal at the Alabino testing grounds southwest of Moscow.

On the morning of February 13, 16 T-72B2 tanks rolled onto the range and proceeded to maneuver around until they lined up in a heart formation.

23-year-old Kazantsev can be seen leading girlfriend Alexandra Kopytova to the middle of the heart, making sure to keep her eyes all covered.

Lover Boy then gets down on one knee and pops the question while holding out some flowers and a shiny ring.

Unsurprisingly, Kopytova said yes.

It'd be awkward if she said no, because as it turns out, she and Kazantsev have already been married for a year.

He told Metro News that his first proposal was in December 2017.

But seeing as how they lived in different cities then, it probably wasn't THAT romantic and needed a round 2.
