BMP-1 Destroyed by Drone-Delivered Mortar Rounds
Published 1 years ago
Ukrainian thermal drone footage from fighting in Zaporizhia. The drone tracks a moving BMP-1, and once it halts drops two 60mm mortar rounds. One lands immediately to the right of the vehicle, the other strikes the top. Both detonate, igniting secondary explosions for a hard kill. Not only is the creative employment of mortar rounds interesting, but it is worth noting the ever improving capabilities of these small drones.
