A drone with a grenade destroys a rare Russian T-90S tank

A drone of the Alcor Attack Aerial Systems Company of the 116th Territorial Defense Brigade finished off a rare Russian T-90S tank.

The Company reported on this in its message.

The abandoned enemy combat vehicle, equipped with a tank-mine exploding roller, anti-drone “grill,” and EW equipment, was destroyed by the exact drop of a grenade into the driver’s hatch.

After the grenade exploded, a powerful fire broke out in the tank’s fighting compartment, which completely destroyed the enemy fighting vehicle.

T-90S

T-90S is an export version of T-90 MBT. This tank has a number of configuration differences compared to the base version.

Unlike the T-90A tanks in service with the Russian military, the export T-90S does not have a Shtora electro-optical active protection system in front of the turret.

Instead, additional reactive armor containers are installed there. This is one of the main visual differences between tanks.

The export model is also easier to control due to the automatic gear shift and steering drive from the steering wheel.

Losses of Russian T-90M ‘Proryv’

In late March, Militarnyi reported that a Ukrainian drone destroyed a Russian T-90M Proryv tank in the Donetsk region using a grenade.

For this purpose, a Mavic copter was used to drop a hand grenade into the open hatch of the turret.

After the explosion, a powerful fire broke out inside the combat compartment of the enemy tank.

It is preliminarily stated that the T-90M was destroyed near the village of Tonenke near Avdiivka in the Donetsk region.

In early March, it was reported that the Russians lost three modern T-90M tanks in one battle in the Lyman sector.

The invaders attracted tanks, IFVs, and SUVs with infantry for the assault. The attacks took place in three waves.

Immediately at the beginning of the battle, the Ukrainian military managed to disable the T-90M, which was supposed to provide fire defeat at the tip of the attack.

Russian tanks were then finished off with FPV drones.
