Jackpot💥
Soldiers of the reconnaissance company 68 of a separate hunting brigade destroyed a Russian T-90 tank with your drones!
Looks like it had some anti-drone mods which clearly didn't entirely work. Curious if that become a total wreck or recoverable wreck.
Yeah I think all that interference was from EW jamming too. Curious how the Ukrainian drones counter that.
i heard that it keep switching channels, but there other methods
That's clearly a VHS drone /s
What a crazy age we live in. Tanks destroyed by drones.
Really is!
Unit cost: 4.5 million $ (T-90MS) https://armedforces.eu/compare/tanks_T-90_vs_T-72 (Plus crew training, maintenance, logistics, etc)
Vs one fpv drone, maybe $2000 ... https://www.nextbigfuture.com/2024/01/ukraines-one-million-fpv-drones-will-be-outnumbered-by-5-million-russian-drones.html
No turret toss? 7/10.
I feel like hitting it with the second drone may not have been necessary
It's hard to tell. First one likely detonated on impact to the drone cage/camouflage and shaped charge possibly breached the roof from the turret and/or engine bay depending on where it actually hit. But I don't think the "tank" part of that took too much damage. That might have been running with somewhat minor repairs and maybe an engine swap.
The second hit was between the turret and the frame next to main barrel which absoutely rendered that thing as scrap. I'd say that a single drone is pretty cheap price to verify that this particular unit isn't coming after you ever again. Specially since Russia has very limited capabilities to produce new ones.
Hm maybe. Idk if you’ve ever been close to a massive fire like that but I feel like anyone inside the tank is unlikely to be ok for doing anything once the top of the tank looks like that. I thought US military doctrine was to keep shooting until the tank you’re shooting at either catches fire, or changes shape, and I think this qualifies.
But IDK; you might be right and I don’t really know. And it would be a real shame to decide not to blow the tank up completely with one $100 drone, and then they’re able to recover it and put it back into action later (even if all the crew was killed by the fire) or something.
Better safe than sorry.
