Ukraine hits Russian weapon

 Warzone:

The Russian military has lost another one of its TOS-1A thermobaric rocket launchers to a Ukrainian improvised kamikaze drone. The TOS-1A can be seen loaded with some of its notorious rockets right before the first-person view (FPV) drone hits it, leading to a giant secondary explosion that produces a massive fireball and sends debris flying in all directions.

A video emerged on social media earlier today showing the drone attack on the TOS-1A. It is said to have occurred recently near the town of Avdiivka, but The War Zone could not immediately verify that. Avdiivka in the eastern Donetsk region has been the focal point of a localized Russian offensive for more than a week now, which has resulted in at best minimal gains against Ukrainian forces so far and major losses, as you can read more about here. The video is also overlaid with the insignia of Ukraine's 59th Motorized Brigade, which President Volodymyr Zelensky lauded just last month for success in operations in Donetsk.

This is another example of how drones have changed the dynamics of military operations.
