The Ukrainian Defence Forces have successfully used FPV drones against the most advanced Russian tanks. The kamikaze drones hit two T-90Ms worth millions of dollars.

Here's What We Know

Let's start with a shorter video. The video is about 30 seconds long and shows an FPV drone chasing a T-90M. The Russian tank was unable to escape and was hit by the drone. It should be noted that the machine was not completely destroyed.

The second video shows not only the defeat, but also the destruction of the T-90M. Soldiers of the 3rd Independent Assault Brigade were able to detect the Russian expensive tank. Then an FPV drone from the 120th Independent Reconnaissance Battalion attacked the combat vehicle.

After that, the artillerymen completed what they had started. Soldiers of the 26th Artillery Brigade finished the tank with an accurate hit.

It should be noted that FPV drones cost an average of $600 each, while the cost of the T-90M is $2.5-5 million depending on the level of modernisation of the combat vehicle. The T-90M is the most modern Russian tank that is involved in combat operations.

Propagandists from russia sometimes report the successful use of the newer T-14 Armata tank. However, so far it has lived only in the news footage of Russian propaganda and has never been seen on the battlefield.
