A crippled Russian T-72 was destroyed by a FPV loitering munition that casually flew under the anti drone screen and detonated in the vehicle commander's open hatch.

The attack was carried out by the Ukrainian Birds of Magyar air reconnaissance drone unit. Birds of Magyar were heavily involved in the defense of Bakhmut against the Russian Wagner mercenary offensive, so the Bakhmut front is likely where this incident took place. The unit has reportedly been responsible for the destruction of over a billion dollars worth of Russian vehicles and equipment.
