A Ukrainian drone operator executes some battlefield cleanup as he drops a RGT-27S thermobaric grenade into a topside hatch of a Russian BMP-1, which immediately results in the fiery destruction of the vehicle.

While the Russian vehicle had been hit and abandoned, its damages may not have been severe, and it's possible the Russians could have recovered and repaired it, given the opportunity. By dropping the powerful grenade inside, the Ukrainian forces are ensuring they never have to face that vehicle again.
