The Russian armored car "Akhmat" survived after seven hits by FPV drones, the crew managed to take the car to the rear area for repairs. The soldiers were not injured.
The drones damaged the armored car's air conditioner, pierced the tank and blew up three wheels, the military said. The car withstood the impact and drove on the remaining three wheels for another five kilometers.
We were performing a combat mission with the TOS-2 "Solntsepek". We fired volleys, the "Solntsepek" left - they go first, we cover them - and as soon as they moved a hundred meters away from us, they were attacked by an FPV drone in the front of the car.
The soldier was in the armored car when it was hit. According to him, this is just one of the cases when the "Akhmat" was attacked by FPV drones. The windshield of the "Akhmat" withstood, there is only a slight crack.
The only thing is that the passenger and I were a little blinded - literally for two minutes. But otherwise, no concussion, no deafness, we practically didn't feel anything.
The protected vehicle Z-STS "Akhmat" with a 6x6 wheel formula for 10 passengers is assembled on a serial frame using domestic components with a superstructure according to the "Typhoon" class of the vehicle. Inside, it is possible to place both crew seats and a paramedic seat and stretchers for transporting the wounded.
