Russian T-90 Takes Multiple Direct Hits
Published 6 months ago
A Russian T-90 tank is speeding along when it begins taking direct hits from Ukrainian bomb drones. The T-90 is formidable compared to other Russian tanks, but the expert Ukrainian Magura drone operators have learned the weak spots.
The first strike targets the engine compartment and smoke immediately begins billowing out as the tank starts losing power. A second strike rocks the targeting and optics components causing the turret to do an out-of-control spin.
The steel beast comes to a grinding halt and the surviving crew members dismount and flee. A third drone comes in, takes careful aim, and makes a hit that causes the tank to burst into flames. Likely causing irreparable damage.
An interesting point to note is that the tank burns within a few meters of a road sign bearing a bright Ukrainian flag, as if saying "Welcome to Ukraine."
