A new video posted on social media by the Ukrainian Armed Forces shows how their fighters managed to direct a kamikaze drone directly into the commander’s hatch of a moving Russian tank.
The footage shows the tank being spotted from a considerable distance, the drone approaching it, and then accelerating in the final stretch before impact, as well as the last seconds of the Russian tanker’s life. In the last frames of the recording, his helmet is clearly visible.
