Bomb Drone Smacks Russian Mortar With Crew Present

Footage shows a Ukrainian FPV kamikaze drone making a direct hit on a Russian 2S4 Tyulpan self propelled mortar system while the crew is in the immediate area.


Something interesting to note is that the drone continued losing signal with the controller which caused the operator to take another pass. This allowed the Russian crew to detect and run away from the mortar seconds before it was struck. It's not clear of this signal interference was due to Russian jamming, line of sight, or range issues with the equipment. Regardless, the drone found its target.
