A Russian infantry team were caught out in the open around Avdiivka during a daylight assault, they sought cover in an unlikely place: the rusting hulk of a destroyed BTR wheeled fighting vehicle.
The metal shell of an old vehicle might hide you from a drone’s prying video camera. Assuming, of course, the drone didn’t watch you climb into the vehicle.
That’s exactly what happened near Avdiivka. A hovering Ukrainian drone observed as the Russians disappeared inside the wrecked BTR. Soon, a second drone—an FPV model with explosives attached—followed the Russians through the BTR’s open hatch, and blew up.
No survivors emerged from the smoking hulk.
