It's been done before. There was a video sometime ago when a Russian tank rushing towards Ukrainian lines and were continually hit by FPV drones. It stopped short of the lines then blow up massively.

Even 10 years would be enough to make the image incomprehensible.

Footage of Russian Harpia-A1 and Geran-2 kamikaze drones striking Ukrainian trucks carrying fuel. The video was filmed on November 2 at a truck stop in the Odessa region, near Izmail. The aftermath of the drone strike is shown at the end of the video.
