Moment Russian Tank is Blown up by ‘Switchblade’ Drone

Dramatic footage that was recently made public shows how a highly advanced Ukrainian “switchblade” kamikaze drone quickly destroyed a Russian T-90 tank.

According to sources, Russia has so far lost 117 T-90M “Breakthrough” tanks to Ukrainian forces, Knewz.com has revealed.

The strike was seen on camera, with a Russian soldier appearing to survey the surroundings as he peered out of the tank’s door.

The soldier was observed turning his head once and then instantly recognizing that a Ukrainian “switchblade” drone was approaching him.

The kamikaze drone struck the Russian T-90M tank in a matter of seconds, exploding with a mushroom cloud and a flaming inferno.

The footage revealed that the powerful Russian tank had exploded during the battle, amidst the swirling smoke.

According to reports, the Switchblade kamikaze drones are among the most sophisticated lethal weapons currently in the Ukrainian military’s arsenal.

The Switchblade 600 Ukrainian drones, often known as “flying shotguns,” are 50 lbs in weight, have a 25-mile range, and can “loiter” over a target for 40 minutes before striking it at 115 mph.

According to sources, these Ukrainian kamikaze drones’ unique armor-piercing payloads have the ability to “shred a tank to pieces,” making them particularly lethal.

Additionally, studies stated that the Switchblade 600 is quite user-friendly in addition to being lethal.

It was also said that a soldier would not need much instruction to operate one. Furthermore, the drones require only ten minutes to set up and can be transported in a backpack with a portable tube launcher.

The drone is controlled by a tablet and can be pre-programmed. It is possible to cancel the drone just seconds before the strike if the target is changed.

Russian tanks have always been seriously threatened by Ukrainian kamikaze drones, to the extent that Russia had to upgrade and use antiquated combat equipment to make up for the tank deficit on the battlefield.

More than 100 of Russia’s cutting-edge T-90M “Breakthrough” tanks have reportedly been destroyed by Ukraine during the conflict.

However, on Wednesday, November 27, Ukraine was the target of an overnight Russian drone strike. This happened a day after Russia used a remarkably large salvo of drones to damage residential structures in the Kyiv region and cut out power in a major portion of the western Ternopil region.

Ukrainian air defenses said they shot down 36 of the 89 Russian drones that were launched during the overnight attack on Wednesday. However, a non-residential building in Kyiv’s Dniprovskyi neighborhood was damaged by falling debris from a wrecked drone, according to Mayor Vitali Klitschkore.

The most recent drone attacks come after Ukraine used US-provided ATACMS to launch its first missile strikes deep within Russian territory, which prompted Russia to escalate its aggressive rhetoric toward Ukraine’s Western partners.

According to a recent expert, Biden’s approval of the use of American missiles to attack Vladimir Putin’s lands has opened a “nuclear war Pandora’s box” in Russia.

According to reports, the Kremlinan revealed earlier this week a new executive order from the Russian president stating that “the emergence of new military threats and risks” has caused the country to reevaluate the justifications for allowing it to use “extreme measures.”

According to reports, the revised nuclear doctrine, titled Foundations of State Policy in the Field of Nuclear Deterrence, asserts:

“Using nuclear weapons (NW) is a drastic step to preserve national sovereignty. At the same time, Russia wanted to make clear the conditions under which NW may be used because of the rise of new military risks and threats.

The Russian state news agency TASS published the following about the new philosophy, which was revised from the June 2020 version:

“Specifically, the revised doctrine broadens the list of military threats that nuclear deterrence is intended to address, as well as the nations and military alliances that are subject to it. The text further declares that Russia will now consider any assault by a nuclear-backed non-nuclear nation to be a joint attack.

“Moscow also reserves the right to consider a nuclear response to a conventional weapons attack threatening its sovereignty, a large-scale launch of enemy aircraft, missiles, and drones targeting Russian territory, their crossing of the Russian border, and an attack on its allyBelarus,” the news agency added.
