Russian BTR-82 Torched In Zaporizhzhia
Published 8 months ago
A Ukrainian bomb drone made a direct hit on a Russian BTR-82 infantry fighting vehicle - armored personnel carrier, resulting in the fiery destruction of the machine.
The feed from the FPV loitering munition shows heavy signal transmission interference. It's not clear if the Russian vehicle had some sort of electronic warfare counter measure device installed, or if the drone was at the limit of its range or line-of-sight capability. Despite the poor signal transmission the skilled drone operator found his mark.
The incident reportedly occurred in the vicinity of Kopani, in Ukraine's southern Zaporizhzhia region.
