A kamikaze drone hit a Russian T-90M tank worth $2.5 million or more, and then a drone bomber attacked it with a RGT-27S thermobaric grenade
Russia's T-90M tanks are not going through the best of times. Since the beginning of July, we have written three times (1, 2, 3) about striking them with different means of defeat. Now it's time for the fourth text.
Here's What We Know
The 28th Mechanised Brigade successfully attacked a Russian modernised T-90M tank, the export value of which is at least $2.5m and could be as high as $4.5m. Both strikes were carried out using unmanned aerial vehicles.
