Ukrainian warriors destroyed Russia’s T-90 third-generation main battle tank worth about USD 3 million during a successful assault near the Donetsk region’s Bakhmut.

The relevant video was posted by the 24th Separate Mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) on Facebook, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

According to the available data, Russians were planning to drag the damaged armored vehicle to the rear at night in order to restore its combat capacity. But, FPV pilots from the Rarog unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) company of the 24th Separate Mechanized Brigade turned the enemy tank into scrap metal with two accurate hits.

A reminder that, according to Ukrainian Defense Deputy Minister Hanna Maliar, Ukraine’s Defense Forces had already re-captured nearly all the key heights on the northern and southern flanks of the Donetsk region’s Bakhmut. Now, the town is a trap for Russian invaders, as they can neither leave it nor safely move around.
