Ukrainians Conduct Target Practice on Disabled BMP
Published 2 years ago
Members of the Ukrainian Military conducting combat operations in Zaporizhzhia utilize a disabled BMP for drone target practice and the entire internet thinks it's combat footage.
If you look at the right side of the vehicle, in the first few frames you'll notice that the track has been thrown. This vehicle has probably been disabled for quite some time, and the Ukrainians utilized it as a way of improving their skills with drone dropped munitions. We've seen some intense drops from the Ukrainians utilizing commercial drones as a delivery platform, and now we know why they're so good at what they do. Constant practice often makes one very skilled at a certain task, dropping bombs from the bottom of a drone is no exception.
Where I take issue with this video however is the things I'm seeing said about the footage on places like Twitter and Reddit where this is being passed around like epic war porn. There are dozens of comments on this footage stating it's actual combat footage from the front-lines. People are praising the Ukrainian military for training, which is fine, but they're also pretending this is genuine footage of Russian troops being defeated in the field, which it's not. It takes less than two frames of this video to realize the vehicle has been sitting abandoned for a long time.
Think critically for one second in your lives.
