Ukrainian drone destroys damaged Russian T-72B tank, dropping one F-1 missile into open hatch
The Ukrainian Armed Forces have sent another Russian tank to the dustbin of history. A new video shows the destruction of the T-72B.
Here's What We Know
The tank was damaged after hitting a mine. So that the Russian servicemen had no opportunity to repair the fighting vehicle, the Ukrainian Armed Forces decided to finish it off. A single F-1 missile, which was dropped directly into the open hatch with the help of a drone, was enough for this purpose.
