Ukrainian drones: Cutting-edge tech trumps Russia's T‑90M
The Ukrainian armed forces are reporting successes from the front. They have shared a video on social media showing a strike on a Russian tank using a drone.
"Another russian T-90M was destroyed by an FPV drone," reported the Armed Forces of Ukraine. They shared a video of the action on social media.
"Most advanced or most failed?" - the video was captioned ironically.
The recording shows an FPV drone attack on a Russian tank. The unmanned aerial vehicle approaches the T-90M, and in a moment, the machine bursts into flames.
Advanced technology? Russian tank loses to Ukrainian drones
The T-90 is a Russian tank that entered production in 1993. The T-90M is its latest, modernized version.
Despite its advanced technology, the T-90M faces criticism, primarily from the Ukrainian armed forces, who often conduct analyses of captured units. It has been found that the microelectronics in the tank are prone to damage, and the technical solutions used are based on older models, such as the T-72. Furthermore, difficulties in radio communication add to the crew's challenges.
Despite admiration from Vladimir Putin, who described the tank as "the world's best," it has turned out that the T-90M often loses battles, including those against Ukrainian drones.
