Footage released by Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense shows a Russian military vehicle being destroyed by a Ukrainian FPV drone strike. The video, widely shared on social media, captures the moment an armored vehicle is hit, causing a massive fireball and engulfing the tank in flames.
The incident involved a Russian fighter, known only as Grisha, who was driving the tank at speeds up to 40 mph across a field to deliver troops to the front line. In a subsequent video, Grisha explained that after the vehicle caught fire, he decided to speed to a safe location to save the combat vehicle and prevent further destruction. For his efforts, he was awarded a state honor.
