The Ukrainian Defence Forces have used a drone to strike at one of Russia's most unusual military developments, the existence of which has only recently come to light.

Here's What We Know

A photo of the Russian weapon, which is a symbiosis of an BTR-80 armoured personnel carrier and two launchers for S-8 unguided aerial missiles, surfaced on social media this month. On top of this whole structure is a "brazier" that protects it from impact.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces were able to track this system in the Donetsk region. It was struck by two FPV drones of the 72nd Independent Mechanised Brigade. The extent of the damage is not specified, but judging from the video footage, the vehicle was not completely destroyed.
