Footage shows the catastrophic destruction of a Russian BMP infantry fighting vehicle as a result of a kamikaze drone strike to the rear of the vehicle.

The loitering munition can be seen flying slowly, at first, to gauge the condition of the vehicle and line up a critical strike. Suddenly, the drone accelerates and hits the BMP squarely in the rear. Smokes immediately begins billowing out of all the hatches. A short time later the onboard fuel and ammunition cook off simultaneously in the form of a massive fiery explosion. Continuous burning following the blast ensures every last piece of the vehicle is lost.
