A Ukrainian quadrocopter spectacularly ripped to pieces a Russian UR-77 "Meteorite" self-propelled demining rocket launcher with 700kg of explosives with a single grenade
It seems that now you will see the most spectacular video of the destruction of Russian military equipment with the help of a drone.
Here's What We Know
Last year, the Armed Forces of Ukraine published several videos of the destruction of Russian tanks with their turrets flying high up. Recently, the elimination of a Grad multiple rocket launcher system using a cluster munition was demonstrated. But the new video is capable of surpassing any of the previous videos.

Soldiers of the 79th Independent Airborne Assault Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine managed to destroy a Russian self-propelled demining rocket launcher UR-77 "Meteorite" in Donetsk region. For this purpose, the quadrocopter dropped only one grenade. The result exceeded all expectations.
The UR-77 was developed in 1977 on the basis of the 2S1 self-propelled howitzer. The rocket launcher carries out demining by creating a shock wave that affects mine fuses. "Meteorite" is capable of creating passages about 6 metres wide and up to 90 metres long.
