FPV Drone Targets Ukrainian MRAP and Infantry
Published 7 months ago
Incomplete FPV drone footage without accompanying reconnaissance footage shows an attack against a Ukrainian MRAP with dismounted infantry nearby. According to the Russian source of the footage, the drone was able to get into the open back hatch of the vehicle before it detonated, but there's no video evidence and the source is an extremely pro-Russian media site saying "Trust me bro," which isn't exactly the most reliable thing on the planet.
Regardless if the drone did destroy the MRAP or not, there's still a simple lesson to be learned here. Always close the hatches of your vehicles when you get out. It doesn't matter how long or short of a trip it is. The armor of the vehicle is exactly 0% effective when you leave access to the inside of the vehicle open through an open entryway.
This might seem like some annoying thing your Sergeant told you to do, but there's a reason your Sergeant is a Sergeant, and it's because he's seen a thing or two. Listen to your Sergeants kids. Close the doors and keep your armor safe.
