Direct hit! Dramatic moment two tanks are obliterated by explosives dropped from stealthy drone in strikes believed to have been carried out by Ukrainian navy against Russian targets
2022-05-01
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Drone hovered 400ft above the Russian armour before letting loose grenades

  • Five seconds later, the two Russian tanks were engulfed in huge fireballs

  • Ukraine's military has used drones to great effect amid Russia's invasion

  • They are used for small scale airstrikes and to analyse Russian troop movement

  • It comes as Ukraine's Land Forces reported Putin has lost up to 23,000 troops
Vehicle hit appears to be an infantry fighting vehicle BMP-2, not a "tank." The explosives appear to be an 82mm or smaller mortar round.

#4  But you gotta admit, those Ukrainian snipers are pretty good. I’ve got a headache like you wouldn’t believe.

#2  There's a video of 1 of these drones bombing a car russian soldiers were getting into. Dropped it right through the sunroof.

#1  ...As seriously cool as that is, I suspect that the visual display is more impressive than the actual results.

That said, the ability to do things like this - without warning, and seemingly unstoppably - has its own very, very useful effects.
