Most Russian twitter channels later said that it is fake news.
The War in the Ukraine
- Thread starter SampanViking
- Start date
The caption is wrong. Four mortar rounds were dropped. After taking three hits, the tank started (finally) to change its position. It was the the 4th hit that penetrated and detonated the ammo.
I was not able to identify the tank as T-72B3 from the footage alone.
The altitude of the drone appears to have been a mere 150m !? I’ve operated smaller drones that could easily be heard 300m away in an unobstructed environment.

Also, what kind of DJI drone can hold four mortar rounds? It must be a gigantic custom drone that is super loud at only 150m.
Most social accounts that publish information from the Russians side of the war where banned, so we only have information from the Ukrainian side of the war. The West won the propaganda war. Incredible how much of propaganda superpower the West is.
The drone in the video dropped 4 mortar rounds/bombs.
I am curious. Which hobby drones can fly with that kind of payload?
That looks like one of those industrial crop spraying drones. They tend to cost as much as a small car ~ $17k.
Too expensive for me as a hobby drone
I don't understand why the Russians don't prioritize the Kharkov front. They're getting wasted there. They can't do anything offensive until they stabilize that front.
It's more that they left that front and gone elsewhere. They don't have many troop to keep a front that long. Probably that the south is easier to keep and they want these Ukrainian pushing to stay in the open for the aviation to grind them. It give some chance for civilians to flee too.

My point is modified civilian drone.
