Russian forces released footage showing anti tank guided missile strikes, combined with FPV bomb drone strikes, against a Ukrainian M1 Abrams tank in Berdychi, north of Donetsk city, resulting in the tank's destruction.

The American-made tank is initially immobilized by an anti tank guided missile strike. Then follow-up kamikaze drone strikes take place, and then a second ATGM rocks the tank. Although the thermal footage makes it hard to identify the vehicle, Russian drone aftermath footage of a destroyed Abrams was geolocated and confirmed by credible analysts. This is now the third confirmed destroyed Abrams tank in Ukraine.
