A Russian T-72B3M tank reportedly took at least five hits from Ukrainian FPV drones and was immobilized after hitting an anti-tank mine. The vehicle was equipped with nearly every known improvised protection system. Toretsk direction, 28th Mechanized Brigade. 09.07.2025

  1. id love to see the perun drones taking a crack at these tanks. pretty sure there aint enough cope cages in russia to stop a couple 155mm shells.

  3. Do they use RPG warheads or those old soviet HEAT grenades in attacks like these?

  4. How could you tell it was a T-72B3M under that clever disguise ?

  5. I think a better strategy against these might be … not to attack them at all, but save your drones and wait, until they reach to their destination and start to unmount. Then kill them as soon as the doors open. These tanks themselves are no longer capable of firing – so they aren’t a threat, the infantry within is the problem.

  7. All for a one way trip that may or may not have made it to its desired destination.

  11. Didn’t we just see this exact tank in a Russian soldiers video a few days ago!?!?

  12. Last post I saw this in said it took over 60 FPV’s before this thing got disabled… but I guess saying it took “at least five hits from Ukrainian drones” isn’t technically lying lol

  14. A similar tank took over 70 FPV hits (“6 dozen”) according to deepstate. It was destroyed by the 28th mechanized brigade yesterday.

  15. I know people talk down on the turtles tactic, but this is proof that AT mines and ATGMs have a very important place that drones can’t outright replace.

  16. It looks like the tank was growing out some sick dreadlocks

  17. Is the purpose of top material ensure that drone trigger doesn’t function?

    I am wondering if it is time to try an EFP on the shed tanks. Has anyone seen a BONUS or SMART round hit a shed? It should have far less trouble with the varous air gaps and material changes and structures. Alternatively, a bigger drone like the Queen Hornet with a Javelin class shaped charge (~ 7KG). That will save money in the long run, as one strike might be sufficient.
