TORO drone hits Russian infantry fighting vehicle at location where Ukrainian Armed Forces destroyed T-80 tank earlier (video)
For the attack, the Ukrainian military used a TORO kamikaze drone with a precision camera that destroys enemy equipment and manpower with explosives.
The Ukrainian military launched a TORO kamikaze drone that destroyed a Russian infantry fighting vehicle. The video of the FPV drone’s battle with a tank was posted by Colonel Anatoliy (“Stirlitz”) Stefan of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on his Telegram channel on Tuesday, August 8.
“The 72nd Separate Mechanized Brigade destroys a Russian infantry fighting vehicle at the same place where a T-80 was burned a week ago,” he captioned the video.
The footage shows that the Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers tracked down the Russian occupiers’ infantry fighting vehicles using a reconnaissance drone. The combat vehicle was traveling along a dirt road, pressing to the right to a landing. The terrain on which the vehicles were moving was dug up in some places. The Russians also encountered a burnt-out tank without a turret on the road.
At the same time, the operators immediately launched a TORO kamikaze drone to destroy the target. The drone set a course for the BPM, quickly flew up to the military equipment and rammed it. According to a bird’s-eye view of the UAV, the attack was successful: the combat vehicle with the occupants caught fire and began to smoke.
