Ukrainian drones reshape battlefield dynamics against Russian armor
Easter holidays are in full swing, but even on this occasion, there's no break on the front. Another clip has hit the net, showing a Ukrainian drone skillfully destroying a Russian armoured unit. The unmanned vehicle dropped a payload, and the T-90M tank - worth about £2.8 million - went up in smoke.
Today, combat drones are a valuable and versatile platform for front-line operations. Images from Ukraine particularly convince the world of their striking power.
Besides features such as surveillance, detection, and monitoring of the front lines, these machines pose a deadly danger to the invaders from Russia. Their cameras provide precise information about the location of targets, allowing operators to conduct effective aerial attacks - which netizens can also see.
In another recording, we see how a Ukrainian FPV drone flies directly over a Russian T-90M tank, which was "hidden" behind trees and, surprisingly, had both hatches open. After dropping a grenade right into the middle of the armoured vehicle, it can be seen that there is a soldier inside. He didn't manage to get out, as the moment he was climbing onto the turret, a huge explosion occurred, and the machine burst into flames.
Netizens note that the Russian tank contained, among other things, anti-drone systems RP-377UVM1L "Lasochek." However, they also failed to work this time.
Orcs will never understand that there's no sense in running from drones. They will just die tired - reads one comment on the X platform.
The crew of the Russian T-90M tank, which was supposed to be the pride of Vladimir Putin's army but failed in combat, likely fled. They left a valuable machine on the battlefield. Perhaps the soldiers knew that drones were coming and it would be all over? This machine was an easy target, and they left a vehicle worth £2.8 million on the front.
Let us remember that recently, Silesian prose writer Szczepan Twardoch provided another set of FPV drones for the Ukrainian army. For this purpose, he personally went to the front line at the beginning of the year.
I've just bought another two Mavic 3Ts and, in an emergency, one Mavic 3 for the II Legion [International - ed. note], which makes a total of eight drones in this installment of the fundraiser - Szczepan Twardoch counts.
Thanks to the involvement of people in another edition, more than 50 drones have already been purchased.
