Russian BMP-2 Goes Up In Flames
Published 9 months ago
After being immobilized by an unspecified strike, a Russian BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicle is abandoned by its crew.
A Ukrainian FPV drone is called in to finish the vehicle off, but it takes an assessment loop around the IFV to determine its best point of attack. The drone controller decides to fly the loiter munition into the open bak hatch of the BMP's troop compartment.
It detonates, and the blast causes a fire within the vehicle that continues to burn and flare as the onboard fuel and ammunition cooks off.
