Ukraine has begun destroying Russian ‘turtle tanks’ using drones and rockets. One was taken out in occupied Luhansk using FPV drones, which the tank’s armour is supposed to protect it from. Drone footage showed multiple FPVs hitting the back of the tank until it burned. Another was blown up in Kharkiv by drone pilots of the 3rd Assault Brigade. The tank was destroyed along with three BMPs and one other tank. A ‘monster’ turtle tank complete with a mineroller was also taken out. Still images showed it wrecked on the battlefield near the town of Krasnohorivka. The Ukrainians said it was badly damaged using rocket launchers. Russia has resorted to using turtle tanks to try and thwart Ukrainian drones. Commanders say the cheap craft are now their deadliest weapons.
But it seems Kyiv’s troops have found ways to overcome the added protection.
