This drone footage shows a Ukrainian Tank pushing an MRAP with probable engine problems. 0:05 seconds into the video, a Russian kamikaze drone strikes the tank. Despite hitting the tank, the shockwave "mobility kills" the MRAP, destroying its tires. After a break in the footage at 0:23 seconds, the tank is shown backing up over the MRAP, effectively destroying it. The round at 0:42 seconds is probably what disabled the MRAP to begin with.

This is likely an example of pro-Russian editing and intentional misinterpretation of the events. Elsewhere, this video may be presented as something of a joke- the Ukrainian tankers panicking and backing over their comrades- but notice the break in footage and the third vehicle standing by for the MRAP crew.
