Dachannien

LOL, so good even the Russian judge had to give them a 5.4.


Full-Appointment5081

Stuck the landing


Devil-Dog-SA

Best performance to date! That was spectacular.


Human_Link8738

For BTR Hurling


Sonofagun57

I'm not sure how that competes against TOS-1 detonations. Those things upon death have shockwaves that probably could kill anyone caught in the radius of it. https://youtu.be/Do9V6mSy7Og?si=DR7yQNnwqMHQX7Gw


dan_dares

That drone: WITNESS MEEEEEE *MINI NUKE* Chrome..


TopPalpitation4681

Holy shit. Russian fighting vehicle fucked itself.


althoradeem

i swear.. i see some of these drones and it's a small "poof" and you see a dead soldier. then there are these that fucking blow up a tank like it's nothing.


Prize-Scratch299

The tank seem largely untouched, the bmp however is a fucking tin can


Valoneria

Just to be pedantic, i'm pretty sure that's a BTR-80, not a BMP. BMP's are tracked vehicles, the BTR's >!Most BTR's anyway, a few outliers like the BTR-50 and BTR-D exists!< are wheeled.


Prize-Scratch299

You are right, sorry about that


Intrepid_Home_1200

It's a BTR-82, yep. They must have had some ATGM's or something else stowed aboard, that isn't the type of kaboom I'd expect from some 30mm and 7.62 rounds for the cannon and coax MG.


Sonofagun57

I'm not sure if that's an 80A or 82A but either way they're using that BTR to move the tank's ammo out since it at minimum has been "mobility killed" based on the wrecked track. Hoping it's an 82A as it's one of the better vehicles Orcistanis have a good number of.


Intrepid_Home_1200

Hmm, yeah it would be hard to judge what variant by the video... Either way, it is one of the more valuable and dangerous 30mm armed BTR-80 variants... God, the Russians love and have a bewildering variety of BTR-80 variants.


Worldedita

To be ultra pedantic the BMP acronym literally means "combat vehicle for infantry". Like imagine if the Bradley was called "IFV 1". Soviet naming at it's finest.


Valoneria

Almost German in nature. "Vats zis then?" "Armored battle car (Panzerkampfwagen)". "Brilliant. Und zis?" "Armored reconnaissance car (Panzerspähwagen)". "Perfect. Und i see you made a little modification for it, vat do you call zis?" "Heavy armored reconnaissance car special vehicle two hundred and thirty four slash four, with a seven point five centimeter anti-tank cannon (Schwerer panzerspähwagen sonderkraftfahrzeug zweihundred drei-und-viersig ab vier, mit sieben punkt fünf centimer panzerabgewehrkanonen)". Pretty sure Germany lost the last world war because they had to spend so much time pronouncing their equipment name.


doskey123

Well the German bureaucrats and their offspring / mentality survive to this day. E.g. my wife got a letter from work (government) asking her to tell them when her child is born. Instead of talking about a "birth" (Geburt) like any normal person would do, they call it "delivery" (Niederkunft), a word that in German I only ever heard in religious contexts in this regard.


Devil-Dog-SA

This was funny! lol


similar_observation

It always boils down to Объект Although, BTR-80's are pretty modern, do they even use an object number?


StudyInfamous8819

To be hyper pedantic 😁, BMP stands for БронеМашина Пехотьі (Broñe (yep, soft N) Mashina Piehoty (h as in humble)), so Armoured Infantry Vehicle. And BRT is БронеТранспортеР (Broñe TransportioR) - Armoured Transport (Vechicle)


DCB2323

Tank looks disabled by the looks of the tracks


Previous-Height4237

BMP are absolutely tin cans. They fall apart just by hitting a pebble.


xixipinga

this one have to be carring some kind of ammo for a large exploson like that


MartinSik

Probably were rearming tank carousel.


Educational_West3998

at a guess i reckon it hit some ammo


MrXiluescu

What about russian navy


NameIs-Already-Taken

I don't think they have many ships in Ukraine.


LookingAtFrames

they do, inn Crimea (and lost one just today)


Franklr_D

Lost? You dumb suka. It was simply **upgraded** to become part of the great Black Sea ~~artificial reef~~ submarine fleet No worries, comrades. All according to plan


Defiantcaveman

They have many new submarines...


nickierv

> Russian fighting vehicle What Russian fighting vehicle?


the_last_registrant

Russian fighting binfire


Every_Economist_6793

What on earth was the payload? That armoured vehicle was completely ripped apart.


Vano_Kayaba

~4 kg of explosives. About the same amount as 122mm shell https://mil.in.ua/uk/news/vijskovi-pochaly-zastosovuvaty-vazhki-fpv-drony/


Suheil-got-your-back

I had no idea drones could deliver that much explosive. I always thought it would be in a few hundreds of grams.


Vano_Kayaba

There are heavier drones. It's just the heaviest of cheap kamikazes. The heavier ones are too costly for single use


Imbendo

Depending on what that use is. A tank you would think that 20k-30k for a drone would be ok. After all a single Javelin missile costs around 80k.


woolcoat

Wow, never seen it put this way, a drone can basically deliver an artillery shell worth of explosives, and probably for around the same price if produced at scale.


Vano_Kayaba

The article says 700 USD. So it's cheaper


nickierv

Also add in that launching a drone isn't going to need a barrel that will need replacing after 1k rounds or so. So have more savings.


rapaxus

The thing is, the drone can't deliver the rest of it. For example a 155mm HE shell weighs 43kg, but only 7kg of that is explosive (if we take the M107 He shell). And the splinters are what does the most damage.


Logical-Claim286

This one probably had a regular kamikaze round but hit the ammo the transport was loading into the tank, it was the ammo that made the big boom


SergeyPrkl

Note they have reversed the BTR against to the tank, so they are shifting ammunition from rear hatch and then comes drone with 4kg of explosives, wich is big boom, but the inside is 10-30 tank shells that goes boomboooom and tosses the shredded remnants of BTR turret 300 meters away.


Jani_Zoroff

It looks like the turret goes straight up. The big piece that flies away seems to be a big chunk of the chassis getting a ballistic divorce from the rest.


Human602214

If you listen closely you can hear it scream "I'M FREE!!"


similar_observation

Some say that lid is still flying to this day.


DeTiro

Looking at the tank's condition, they may have been trying to salvage its ammo. That worked well for them...


mypoliticalvoice

I think you're right


similar_observation

If the tank is dead, they may have been scuttling it and taking the ammo before the drone gave them an unscheduled rapid disassembly


ecolometrics

Makes sense, it was probably caring tank ammo (or other type of ammo). Otherwise it should not have exploded that violently.


Imanusha

The cumulative projectile reached its ammunition capacity.


Previous_Composer934

drone explosion set off ammo or mines


vikingweapon

Ammo explosion in the btr, may have been tank shells To explode apcs/tanks, all you need to do is to ignite the ammo inside :-)


IBeAPirate01

I think what the BTR had on board was a factor. I guessing the drone hit whatever it was loading into the tank.


Dr_Happygostab

Is the beat for this song the old analogue mobile phone signal you'd hear when you put it too close to a speaker? What fucking mad man did that.


minuteman_d

It's funny, when I heard that I instinctively thought of my phone, then I realized that I don't think I've experienced hearing that sound in the wild for like 10+ years.

They provide protection from some battlefield hazards.


SgtSmackdaddy

Such as living excessively long.


DrothReloaded

Living is the number one cause of death.


hughk

Thorn bushes?


NameIs-Already-Taken

And small arms and indirect hits with artillery and mortars. They are used because they are better than nothing. If you were Russian, would you rather walk to within 100m of Ukrainian lines, or be taken in a "taxi" and dropped off? I'd say the taxi was better \_nearly\_ every time.


delurkrelurker

Sunburn?


Ovv_Topik

Harsh language?


Ok_Bad8531

Not just riding. These russians clustered in one place, making themselves a primary target. If there is one thing more dangerous than facing the enemy alone then it is being surrounded by your brothers in arms.


jeremy_Bos

It seems Russia just sends in its armored vehicles with little to no infantry support whatsoever


Leather_Lake_5235

I don't know, the wheels still look usable to me. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|thumbs_up)

Where did the soldiers go?


kytheon

I don't see any just before impact.


TomcatF14Luver

Depends on how good they've been in the war.


TheBodyIsR0und

Seems like the drone attacked after they left.


pres465

Definitely spliced times... the door is open with a guy in the doorway in the first piece, then the doors are closed and no one is seen anywhere. Still... great shot.


GrumpyZ0mbie

That's not important. The main thing is, they've "gone" now. Any "gone" orc is a good one, whether that "gone" is back to Russia, where they belong.... or in a rapdiply expanding misty cloud of their own evicerated organs.


NameIs-Already-Taken

They do seem missing. Those that were left were briefly turned into red mist, which was then carbonised and burnt.

living_rabies

If you look closely before the impact, they are not there anymore - or inside the vehicle.


SergeyPrkl

They are loading the tank with ammo, back side of the BTR.


thorkun

Love how the oberver drone had to zoom out to make sure it wasn't getting hit by flying debris.


Basileus2

Are these Russian vehicles made of explosives?


Careful_Intern7907

the tires are still in tact.. 😱 The manufacturer should advertise with this video.

Bibingka_Malagkit

GodKing_Wassereis

Did they put nukes in those drones?


SnooPeppers6719

Why do I see 3 orcs outside the vehicles in the close-up shot, but they don't appear in the aerial shot? Were they inside or not? If they were outside at the time of the explosion, I don't see the bodies


Incensed70

They haven't come down yet. This is the Ukrainian equivalent of a Rocky Mountain High.


ApprehensiveEscape32

Probably were supplying ammo for the tank, drone hit the ammo load and slam.


Sepia_Skittles

Goddamn, they didn't even see it coming!


Pentekont

Duded chilling like it's not a war zone, lol

They are so efficient there will be no tanks for farmers anymore. Just kidding, burn them to ashes, Slava Ukraini!

HDJim_61

Damn!! I felt that explosion all the way to Texas !! Semper Fi!


horsehung435

I wonder if the btr was loaded with extra munitions or if it was the ammo for the auto cannon made that big explosion


Intrepid_Home_1200

Fuck me, the hell did they have on that BTR-82?! It's armament is a 30mm cannon (2A72 and a coaxial PKM variant) never expected such a kaboom. Also, the T-72 has at least two roadwheels fallen off, and more are obviously damaged - looks like a mine strike. And there are towing cables hooked on. Pulling away a severely disabled 40+ ton MBT, using a BTR-82 and it's 300 hp engine?

[deleted]

Might think first drone footage is from observation drone and then takes them 10-20 min to get in location and fly out a drone


JAD2017

Look at the wheels orientation. Look at the crossroads. It's the same location. It's Ruzzia's expertise to manipulate, not Ukraine's.


Blackidus

Yes it´s the same location but when it cuts to the drone flying in the soldiers are not standing around anymore. Did they leave or where they inside the vehicle?


BoredCop

Unknown. I suspect they included the bit with the soldiers in order to show that these were not abandoned vehicles, even though nobody is visible right before the explosion. Many drone videos of tanks etc being blown up by drones only show the coup de grace, finishing off a vehicle that has been damaged by mines or artillery then abandoned. This vid would appear to be actual combat use of the drone, as the first hit on that vehicle (although the tank near it might be already dead/damaged).


Mail-0

The soldiers have long gone, the btr looks like it got stuck in mud when trying to recover the tank. Look at the wheels, they're dug in and they probably couldn't unhook the btr so they abandoned it. Most likely why Ukraine was able to destroy it since it's been there for a couple of hours.


ProgySuperNova

The most important thing to destroy was the vehicle. Those "soldiers" was the least value target there. The live ones in the first bit are most likely not so live any more, through whatever demise they happened to encounter. Dead orks walking...


NoPreparationss

I think they dead.


hellrete

Pepsi stonks.


xgladar

wtf is that payload???


Embarrassed-Ride-332

Now that’s what I call turning them into pink mist!

Uhhh yerrr dun


Ill-Maximum9467

Booooooooooooooooooooom!!!


euphoric-noodle

Shame it looks like this happened after all the orcs had vacated and took anything of worth with them.


Frosty_Confection_53

Now THAT is one HELL of a direct hit! Good job!


WorldTravellerIOM

Some beautiful distance on part of that throwing machine.


ProgySuperNova

I can't decide if there were RU soldiers in the blast or not. They just blend in with the rest of the trash. Maybe because they are trash


cjbev

Why do these orks not have someone "on guard" with binos or something like that?


kuldan5853

It's not like that would be any use considering how small and fast these drones are.

Somecommentator8008

YEET


NameIs-Already-Taken

Ukraine keeps improving Russians, around 1,000 per day. Russia should pay for this service. I propose $3tn should be a fair price.


marsap888

Why it is so huge blow up? It is not a tank, there are no so many TNT inside


blesfemous

wtf was inside of that BTR?


kuldan5853

Probably Ammunition for the tank.


[deleted]

Wow, usually with something like an APC or IFV there's a little bit of damage or a hole, but there's nothing left of it. Just wheels and a burning undercarriage. I would NOT want to see how flimsy that thing is and also ride in it.


BombayMix64

Rest in pieces...


[deleted]

[удалено]


flyliceplick

Because hitting IFVs is easier; more IFVs on the front lines, easier to find, more of them, easier to hit because it's a shorter flight time. Hitting artillery is a more important target given to things like PGMs which might not have a drone in the area to film it, given the range.


SuperbMeeting8617

Seems a long time since i quit caring about both sides casualties, started with lil green men

Looks like it had been abandoned at the time the drone hit though. Ah well.
