The chronological immobilization of a Russian BMP is recorded as it sustains blast damage from at least three different weapons systems in Maryinka, near Donetsk city.

The video begins just after the BMP has been immobilized by a land mine. The surviving crew members likely already abandoned the vehicle. A FPV bomb drone then flies in and delivers another significant hit on the APC. Ultimately, a Ukrainian quadcopter hovers overhead and drops a powerful thermobaric hand grenade onto the vehicle, which causes a massive secondary explosion, totally reducing the BMP into smoldering parts scattered across the battlefield.
