We write almost every day about the next successful attacks by Ukrainian drones. These relatively inexpensive devices are exceptionally user-friendly and deadly, as the Russian soldiers regularly find out.

Action at dawn, in the middle of the night, or in open terrain at noon? Drones almost always prove to be an effective means of attack. They spot the target from a distance, carry the explosive charge, and finally, deliver it to a place where the detonation will result in the greatest losses to the enemy.

It was no different this time. An open tank hatch? That's an instant recipe for disaster. A new video from an FPV (first-person view) drone camera shows how costly a moment of inattention was. The operator of the Ukrainian drone noticed that the tank, worth millions, had an open hatch, practically "inviting inside".

The "invitation" was accepted. The drone navigated perfectly through the open hatch, right into the middle of the tank. A detonation occurred, and the precious T-90 tank turned into a pile of scrap.

The entire operation can be seen in a video posted by the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense on the X(Twitter) platform. An added mocking comment reveals the account of profits and losses on both sides of the conflict during this encounter.

What fireworks! An FPV drone destroyed a Russian T-90 tank worth £3.6 million. 92nd Assault Brigade - we read in the post of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense on the X(Twitter) platform

The footage from a second drone captured the moment of the T-90 tank's destruction from several hundred metres away. As reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, since the beginning of the war, the Russians have lost 6657 tanks. Meanwhile, the personnel losses number over 419,000 killed soldiers.
