Disabled Tank and Crewman Go Up in Smoke
Published 7 months ago
A disabled Russian tank is destroyed, along with some of its crew, in Donetsk. The vehicle sits alone in a field pockmarked by shellfire. Based on the fact that the tank apparently came to an abrupt stop after throwing a track, it is reasonable to think that they ran over a mine. Soldiers evacuate the vehicle in a leisurely fashion, and as the driver clambers out of his hole, the tank is struck by an FPV drone. The resulting secondary explosion destroys the vehicle.
