Unsuspecting Russian T-80 Gets Explosive Surprise

Footage shows a Ukrainian drone dropping an explosive munition on a Russian T-80 tank, which isn't uncommon in the current fight, but the fact that the explosive was a modified American M430A1 HEDP projectile that is designed for the MK19 and MK47 automatic grenade launchers is a bit more rare.


While it appears the blast occurred with nothing more than superficial damage, the M430A1 HEDP is designed with a copper shaped charge warhead, which is capable of penetrating steel armor. The Ukrainian likely received the grenades as part of a US military aid package and have found them more useful as bomblets in the current fight.
