Ukrainian drones dismantle multimillion-pound Russian T‑90 tank

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.

Three drones were enough. Not much is left of the Russian tank.

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.

Russia is losing more and more equipment

Daily, the General Staff of Ukraine reports on the combat losses of the Russians. The latest report indicates that in the past day, the Russians lost 1,110 soldiers, bringing the total to more than 501,000 since the beginning of the war.

In the last 24 hours, Russian losses also included 12 tanks, 17 armoured vehicles, 24 artillery systems, and one aircraft.

On the night of 25-26 May, the Russians also carried out a missile and air attack on Ukraine using 14 air-launched missiles and almost three dozen unmanned aerial vehicles. Among them were two Kh-47M2 "Kinzhal" aeroballistic missiles launched from a MiG-31K aircraft and 12 Kh-101/Kh-555 cruise missiles launched from Tu-95 MS strategic aircraft. Additionally, 31 "Shahed-131/136" drones targeted Ukraine.

The Ukrainians managed to shoot down all the drones, as well as all the Kh-101/Kh-555 missiles.
