Ukrainian drones outmaneuver Russia's 'best' T‑90M tank
Ukrainian armed forces are highlighting their successes on the front lines. They have released a video on social media showing a drone strike on a Russian tank.
"Another russian T-90M was destroyed by an FPV drone," declare the Armed Forces of Ukraine. They have shared footage of the operation on social media.
"Most advanced or most failed?" the video is ironically captioned.
The footage shows an FPV drone attacking a Russian tank. The unmanned vehicle approaches the T-90M, and the machine bursts into flames shortly after.
Advanced technology? Russian tank loses to Ukrainian drones
The T-90 is a Russian tank that went into production in 1993. The T-90M is its newest, modernized version.
Despite its advanced technology, the T-90M faces criticism, mainly from Ukrainian armed forces, who often analyze captured models. It has been found that the tank's microelectronics are susceptible to damage and that its technical solutions are based on older models, such as the T-72. Additionally, difficulties in radio communication present an additional problem for the crew.
Despite praise from Vladimir Putin, who called the tank "the world's best," it often loses battles, including those against Ukrainian drones.
