The operator forced the drone to crash into the hatch cover and explode inside the RF Armed Forces combat vehicle, which was soon permanently disabled due to the explosion of the ammunition load.
Fighters of the 59th Separate Motor Rifle Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, named after Yakov Gandzyuk, used an unmanned aerial vehicle to prevent the Russians from evacuating a wrecked tank on the front line. Ukrainian blogger Sergey Sternenko shared the video on Telegram.
According to him, the Russian tank went over a mine, was seriously damaged and could not continue to move. Another tank of the Russian Armed Forces tried to tow it for the invaders to repair it and return it to service, but the Ukrainian defenders noticed this in time and took action.
The operator of the Ochi vіdplati UAV unit launched the Goida kamikaze drone with first-person control (FPV) and directed it to the open hatch of armored vehicles, where the aircraft exploded. A reconnaissance plane filmed from afar how a fire started inside the tank that caused a spectacular explosion of ammunition.
“There is nothing left to evacuate,” commented Sergey Sternenko.
It was previously written that the Ukrainian army gave Pegasus FPV unmanned aerial vehicles produced by the Squadron UAV pilot school under the call signs “Goida”. These are inexpensive racing aircraft armed with explosives or grenades that require good training and control skills from the operator.
In March, the Armed Forces of Ukraine demonstrated how a drone finished off a Russian infantry fighting vehicle after an ATGM attack. The drone threw a grenade into the open hatch, but the crew managed to leave the car.
Experts explained why the Armed Forces of Ukraine finished off the abandoned Russian equipment with drones. Invaders often manage to return, retrieve combat vehicles from the battlefield, and then repair and return to service.
