russian T-72 tank concealed in a tree line was destroyed by a series of precise Ukrainian drone strikes, according to footage released by Ukraine's 425th Regiment. The video captures the moment when the armored vehicle, carefully hidden under branches, is detected and subsequently targeted by FPV drones.
The report highlights the ongoing effectiveness of small, agile drone units in countering heavier armored platforms on the battlefield. Despite efforts to camouflage the tank within a wooded strip, Ukrainian operators were able to identify the target, demonstrating the increasing limitations of traditional concealment techniques in modern warfare.

Once the tank was located, FPV drones were deployed to engage it. The footage shows a sequence of strikes hitting the vehicle in rapid succession. Each impact appears to further degrade the tank's condition, ultimately turning it into a burning wreck.
The use of multiple drones in a coordinated strike underscores a tactical shift toward swarm-like engagements. Rather than relying on a single munition, operators delivered repeated hits to ensure the destruction of the target, leaving no opportunity for the crew to react or withdraw.
As Defense Express previously reported, Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces have struck two russian military helicopters in Voronezh region, marking another instance of Kyiv's expanding ability to target aviation assets deep inside russian territory. The operation took place on April 29 and involved coordinated drone strikes against grounded aircraft.
