Cannot restore losses: how Ukrainian drones massively destroy the Tanks of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation
Operators try to get into the open hatch to cause maximum losses, and sometimes several attempts are required. Small ammunition for GPE-17 grenade launchers are not suitable for such attacks, but the Armed Forces fighters have a lot to choose from: RGD-5, F-1, DM-51 and other grenades. Recently, the military has been displayed by 40 mm grenades from the US, RGT-27S2 thermobaric grenades, or inflammatory bombs called "Molotov Balons".
Larger UAVs such as R-18 from NGO "Air Intelligence" are capable of dumping heavy anti-tank grenades RKG-3, which punch the armor well, but cost more. In many cases, the drones on video are destroying Russian tanks already thrown by crew. It is not necessary to think that it is a waste of ammunition, because otherwise Russians can pull out and repair combat vehicles using armored repair and evacuation machines.
Very often, tanks get stuck in dirt or lose caterpillars, so they can be quickly restored. Even an anti -tank rocket or gun does not guarantee the destruction of armored vehicles. According to Forbes, drones were a great weapon to produce. The systematic work of Ukrainian operators is reducing the Pank Park of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, Russia can only make part of tanks to restore losses, and on the account every car.
According to estimates of military researchers Oryx, Russians lost more than 10,000 vehicles in Ukraine. "If videos on the Internet are an indicator, then the removal is quickly, professionally and ruthless," said Forbes analysts. Earlier, the experts explained why the Drones of the Armed Forces were eating abandoned Russian equipment. They found that the occupiers were able to take away abandoned tanks and armored personnel carriers from the battlefield for repair.
