Three Ukrainian drones, each worth approximately £320, shelled a Russian T-90 tank valued at around £3.6 million. Anton Gerashchenko, an advisor to the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, shared a video showing the drones approaching the Russian T-90 and completely destroying it.

The footage displays the Russian tank in motion, with a Ukrainian drone approaching from behind and striking it for the first time. At that moment, plumes of smoke emerge from the vehicle. Soon after, a second strike occurs, causing the vehicle's turret to spin around, attempting to locate the source. Moments later, a third drone hits, destroying the Russian tank.

"Three drones, each worth £320, transformed a Russian T-90 Proryv (Breakthrough) tank valued at £3.6 million into scrap metal. Glory and thanks to the Ukrainian Defenders for such commendable work!" wrote Gerashchenko.
