An FPV drone hit a Russian tank in the Luhansk region. The video shows the result of the work of operators of the drone strike company "AHILLES" of the 92nd separate mechanised brigade.

According to Oryx analysts, the Russian army has lost at least 33 T-90M main battle tanks since February 2022. Most were completely destroyed, but some were repairable. In addition, several tanks were captured by the Ukrainian Defence Forces.

The T-90M is a deep modernisation of the T-90. The combat vehicle is equipped with the Relikt dynamic shield, the 2A46M-5 125 mm smoothbore gun, and Kord (12.7 mm) and PKTM (7.62 mm) machine guns.
