Watch dramatic moment Ukrainian drone destroys Russia’s ‘indestructible turtle tank’ after crew ‘forgot to close hatch’

THIS is the dramatic moment a Ukrainian drone destroys Russia's "indestructible" turtle tank in the latest blow to Putin's failing forces.

Footage shows the sturdy military vehicle suddenly blowing up in flames after its crew left the hatch wide open in a fatal mistake.

The drone is seen in the daylight mission smoothly descending until it enters Mad Vlad's tanker, hitting it with pinpoint accuracy.

Bright orange flames engulf the turtle tank, reducing it to debris and melted metal.

The precise attack was recorded by the Ukraine's 93rd Mechanized Brigade.

Ukraine's Ministry of Defense confirmed the blow on X, writing: "Occupiers made a 'turtle' tank but forgot to close a hatch.

"[Ukrainian] drone pilots don't forgive such mistakes."

"Turtle tanks" generally refer to tanks with a heavily armored, low-profile design resembling the shape of a turtle.

Russia has lost nearly 100 T-90M tanks, exposing the limitations of even the most advanced models against Ukraine’s effective use of drones and NATO-provided anti-tank weapons.

If you and your former president Elenskyy want the liberated Russian Federation oblasts, Come And Take Them.

And it would have ended then if not for Joe Biden and his flying monkey Boris Johnson

Don’t be a fool, if Putin pulled out the Russian Troops, the killing would just be starting as all Ukrainians in occupied lands would be shot for “Helping the Enemy”. It would be a bloodbath. No peace as the horror would just be starting for those who took Russia’s side—or were suspected of “helping” Russians. What would the victorious Ukraine troops do to the population? My bet it would be rape, murder, pillage and loot, like some mongol army of long ago. Wars are evil things that feed the worst (and sometimes best) in human beings.

One tank? I guess you have to take any victory you can no matter how small. I just watched video of FAB 500 bombs crushing Ukrainian positions. There's a lot of death and destruction going on. Most of it is happening on the Ukrainian side.I'm not rooting for one side over the other. I'm hoping the Ukrainians push for peace talks before idiots like Biden or Marcon start another world war.

Putin’s debacle happening right now in Vovchansk is his biggest disaster since Hostomel. Epic failure in strategy and tactics.

What would the USA do if Russia took over Mexico and amassed thousands of Russian troops and weapons on the border?

How would Russia manage to get thousands of troops to Mexico?

That was the way WWII bombardiers spoke of their skill in pinpointing targets from 20,000 feet in their raids over Germany.

More often than not, those bombardiers were kidding themselves; the bombsights were not as nearly as accurate as they were led to believe.

"I don’t get the glee some here seem to get watching either the Russian or Ukrainian troops get smoked."

It's the behavior of someone with a very sick soul. They are called sociopaths.

I think he would eagerly post threads showing rapes, murders, pillaging and looting the same way he gleefully posted this thread, proudly  as if it means he and his people are superior geniuses. The AZOV Nazis were integrated into the Ukraine's national guard and their ideology (depravity, inhumanity) still adds 'seasoning' to the military culture there (i.e., feed the worse in human beings ),  and they would LOVE the scenario you describe.

Hummph. I’m in a rotten mood right now. 94F and gnats while trying to work on the ‘Vette.

I’m not so certain Russian occupation of Mexico would be a detriment. Convince me otherwise.

Yo leo español, and might be living there now had I found a berth for a 60-ft icebreaker. Small chance that I’m eligible for dual citizenship.

How many M1-Abrams tanks donated to the Ukraine have they lost to the Russians?

Zelensky said last year that tanks are nice, but modern fighter jets were needed to win the war. He was right - the Ukraine is losing this war because Russia has air dominance.

Both Russia and the Ukraine fly drones. This is the first extensive use of drone warfare. But the main reason the Ukraine uses drone warfare to pick off slow moving tanks is because they have no real fighting air force. The Ukraine’s drones are, in effect, their ‘air force’ in this war.

So Russia has air dominance with fighter jets and air defenses, while the Ukraine lacks sufficient air defenses and lacks modern jets. Both have drones. And yet you celebrate as the Ukraine can no longer replace its dead or wounded, ‘fighting’ with an under equipped cohort of poorly trained men that continues to shrink.

The Ukraine is losing, obviously. They can’t stand up a runway near the border for the modern jets (older rebuilt F-16’s) they will slowly begin to receive at the end of the year. Construction efforts would be cratered with bombs. They can’t park jets where they need them because their lack of adequate air defenses mean the jets would be bombed. It would take years to build an adequate air defense system there. The Ukraine simply can’t win.

All this pointless death on both sides. Utter destruction of the Ukraine’s infrastructure. Your gleeful posts about killing soldiers in a tank reminds me of the head of Iran, gleefully laughing while dragging his fingers through the ashes of US servicemen Killed in action. You’re not celebrating victory over an enemy, you’re gleefully feeding on death while your country dies.
