The Ukraine Defense Ministry shared a new video from the front lines on Wednesday as Russia's battefield losses continue to mount over two years into Vladimir Putin's invasion.
In the video, a Ukrainian drone can be seen approaching a Russian T-90 tank, hovering some 15-20 feet above it. Then, the drone drops a grenade into the hatch, exploding a few seconds later. Smoke can be seen billowing out before the tank erupts into flames.
Just to make sure…
