"Didn't back down": The main Russian T-72B3 tank withstood three drone strikes at once

The drones burned through the armor and track, but the crew remained intact

The main tank of the Russian army, T-72B3, withstood the impact of three enemy drones at once during a battle on the front line. The drones burned through the armor and track, but the crew remained intact.

The return fire came at us, three drones flew under the right track at once... In our battalion, there is a concept of a "tank god" when you feel that someone is protecting you. We are always under his cover, so we return alive.
