A Russian T-90 is firing on Ukrainian positions and receives an unpleasant surprise. The drone footage shows the tank firing and attempting to maneuver between shots. After a few shots, the tank is obliterated. It is difficult to discern the ordinance that destroyed the T-90. The explosion occurs on the side of the tank facing the Ukrainian positions, so it might have been a projectile from another tank, a mine exploding under the forward tread, or an ATGM, though viewing the footage frame by frame does not reveal a missile. The T-90 explodes in a typical Russian fashion, and all that remains is a shattered hull without a turret. It appears that this tank was deployed without much in the way of support, such as accompanying infantry, tanks or other armored vehicles, artillery to suppress Ukrainian infantry, or some form of ADA to keep drones at bay.
