Russian soldiers are packing defunct, Soviet-era tanks with devastating explosives and rolling them directly into Ukrainian positions in the latest desperate attempt by the Kremlin to gain an advantage on the battlefield.
In video footage posted online, a 70-year-old T-54 tank rigged with six tons of explosives could be seen guided by remote control as it rolls toward a Ukrainian trench.
The vehicle-borne improvised explosive device, however, is obliterated into a cloud of dust and smoke when it suddenly strikes a mine before being demolished by a Ukrainian anti-tank missile, according to Forbes.
#Ukraine: A FPV loitering munition of the K2 unit of the Ukrainian 54th Mechanised Brigade destroyed a Russian Ural truck with ZU-23-2 autocannon in Verkhnokamyanka, #Luhansk Oblast.
For some reason the Ural is a little jumpy after being hit. pic.twitter.com/egnILYOce6
