Ukrainian drone operators continue to dismantle russia's most valuable battlefield equipment, this time targeting rare and heavily armored engineering vehicle. Soldiers from the Nemesis Regiment successfully destroyed russian IMR-3M obstacle-clearing vehicle, often referred to by russian troops as a "terminator on tracks".
The operation was documented on video and released by the Nemesis Regiment. The footage shows the moment the specialized vehicle, designed to open paths for offensive operations, was struck and disabled.

The IMR-3M system is one of the most advanced engineering vehicles in russia's arsenal. Built on the chassis of the main battle tank, it is equipped with heavy armor, nuclear fallout protection, mounted machine gun, and specialized tools for clearing minefields and debris. In russian military doctrine, these vehicles play a crucial role in spearheading offensives by creating safe routes for following mechanized units.
The Nemesis Regiment successfully neutralized the IMR-3M system using drone strikes. The destruction of such a platform represents not only a tactical win but also a symbolic achievement, as Moscow has long promoted the vehicle as nearly indestructible under battlefield conditions.
As Defense Express previously reported, the russian military presence in temporarily occupied Crimea has once again suffered losses following a precision operation carried out by the Defense Intelligence's Prymary unit. Ukrainian operatives struck both aircraft and critical radar infrastructure, dealing another blow to russia's military capabilities in the region.
According to official reports, the raid resulted in the destruction of three Mi-8 multipurpose helicopters. These Soviet-designed workhorses are widely used by russia for troop transport, logistics, and battlefield support, making their loss tactically significant. The elimination of multiple helicopters in one strike reduces the occupiers' ability to rapidly deploy forces and maintain operational flexibility.
