A new mystery has been added to the treasure chest of secrets of the war against the russian federation. The video published by the 24th Separate Assault Battalion "Aidar" of the Armed Forces of Ukraine shows the destruction of a tank of the Russian army.
The post states that this is the result of a direct hit from a 122mm D-30 howitzer, which in itself is showcases not just the skill of Ukrainian gunners, but also great luck, because this artillery system does not use high-precision projectiles (as we know, the development of the 122mm "Karasuk " projectile from the Research and Production Complex "Progress" was not completed).

But there are also several high-speed aerial objects caught in the frame in this video that should be paid attention to. One of them makes a straight flight over the enemy tank at the moment of its destruction.
In some other frames, we can as well notice similar high-speed objects flying in different courses.
There is no absolute certainty about what exactly got on the footage. The speed of these objects is too high for quadcopters, and the height is too low for reconnaissance drones. Conventional artillery shells, on the contrary, would be unnoticeable on the screen. Javelin or Brimstone anti-tank missiles have a completely different flight path, attacking from above, and "Stugna" anti-tank missiles fly close to the ground and are painted in green, not white color.
Given the flight path and shape, it is possible to make a cautious assumption that these are drones, as indicated by the absence of traces from jet engines while maintaining a straight flight. But there is no way to identify them.
Thus, this episode adds to the list of "mysteries", including the one about how the Air Force of Ukraine uses the AGM-88 HARM and what exactly destroyed the russian command vehicle.
