"13 tasks planned for tomorrow. Today, they achieved a record number in one day: 63! ☠️ 200-32 🩸 300-31

Those bastards are really pushing on Donbas. The Cossacks of the 414th Mechanized Infantry worked in turbo mode, hitting 125 enemy targets in one day—unbelievable. 125.

Not counting operations by mechanized infantry in Kursk region.

The previous records were 112, 109, and 106. All of the regiment's records have been set in November.

Honor to the Cossacks!

The Night Doctors-Islanders and other teams, regimental reconnaissance, and the "Angels" company, along with all FPV drone operators—steel birds 🫡🇺🇦

Here’s a short from Klim's Team featuring a tank, just for you.

Wishing you a peaceful and quiet night,

MADYAR 🇺🇦

Must be very nerve wracking to launch one of these drones with a live pressure activated tandem attached.

Does the crew die the moment the explosive penetrates the hull or are they being burned alive? If so that is not a fate I wish to barely anyone

Depends on where the tank is hit. Russian tanks are crewed by 3 people. The gunner, commander and driver. The commander and gunner sit side by side in the turret. That's the hatches the drone attacked in the video. The driver is right in front of the turret.

Antiarmor charges are designed to focus all of the energy of the explosive on a very small area. This punches a hole through the armor. The armor material from the hole is turned into hot shrapnel sprayed across the inside of the tank.

The fires are caused by the hot shrapnel catching something flammable on fire inside the tank. So it's common, but doesn't always happen.

The ammo storage is directly below the commander and gunner. So targeting the hatches on the turret, can kill the commander and gunner and possibly set off the ammo.
