In the brief clip, which was shared on Twitter, the drone’s camera pans over a wooded area to where the Russian tank has been hidden by the tree cover.
The drone gets directly over the tank while the operator checks the angles, before unleashing an improvised munition containing a 1.5kg explosive payload.
It lands right on the tank’s engine area, triggering an enormous explosion and taking the tank out of action.
The drone camera then zooms in to examine the damage to the T-72, each one costs around $1 million (£890k) when new.

It isn’t known if there were any Russian soldiers inside the tank at the time.
The video comes as fighting continues across southern and eastern Ukraine, with President Zelensky’s forces battling to retake more of the territory claimed by Russia.
Vlad‘s troops have been forced to beat a hasty retreat from parts of Kherson Oblast, which only last month was welcomed into Russia along with three other Ukrainian territories following sham referendums carried out by Putin’s thugs.
Kyiv accuses Moscow of forcibly deporting Ukrainians to Russia as it retreats, something the Kremlin has denied.

Meanwhile, more Russian missiles were filed on Zaporizhzhia in southern Ukraine, sparking further fears of damage to Europe’s largest nuclear power plant.
President Zelensky accused Russian forces this week of planting mines at a major hydroelectric dam in Kherson, seeking to destroy it and trigger a “catastrophe on a grand scale”.
He also said the attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure including power plants is aimed at creating a new wave of refugees to further destabilise Europe.
Russia claims to have conscripted at least 260,000 people so far, 40,000 short of the target set by the Russian parliament, the Duma.
However, the mobilisation has sparked fury among many in Russia, leading to claims it has been halted early in parts of the country.
Reports say Putin’s army is enlisting the names of the dead, disabled, and children in a bid to artificially inflate its conscription numbers.

The aftermath of the explosion that destroyed the Russian tank[/caption]
Putin’s secret enlistment police threatened to smash down the dead man’s door in a bid to round up conscripts, his family told news site Mediazona.
His niece said: “They promised to destroy the door, so we opened up.”
While Oleg Vasiliev, who suffers from spinal muscular atrophy and is unable to walk, was stunned when he was ordered to go to his nearest enlistment office.
Others called up include a foreign woman who was handed Russian citizenship just two years ago, a 63-year-old pensioner and a 16-year-old transplant patient.
It comes as Putin made a rare appearance in public this week, firing a sniper rifle at a training camp for mobilised Russians.
The Russian President, who recently turned 70, wore protective eye goggles as he tested the rifle at a training ground in the Ryazan region, roughly 100 miles southeast of the capital Moscow.
He lay under a net while firing several shots at a target some 300 metres away.

V/H/S/99 Trailer Teases Larger Than Life Found Footage Horror
The trailer for the upcoming installment of beloved found footage horror anthology series, V/H/S/99, has arrived at New York Comic-Con and you can take it in, right now, in all its nostalgic Y2K-flavored glory. Watch the trailer now.
V/H/S/99 will premiere on Shudder on October 20, and features five different short, found footage films with directors like Johannes Roberts (47 Meters Down) and rapper FlyingLotus. If the trailer is to be believed, it will also feature plenty of late-’90s throwbacks, splattering guts, and maybe even some nods to challenge-style teen game shows like Legends of the Hidden Temple. The trailer features the song “Larger than Life” by Backstreet Boys which in no way is synonymous with horror, but it is with the ’90s.
The V/H/S series kicked off back in 2012 with the titular V/H/S movie. The premise was simple: a collection of V/H/S tapes were uncovered, each showcasing a new short found footage nightmare, done by different up-and-coming directors. The original V/H/S saw work from directors like David Bruckner, Adam Wingard, and Ti West. In 2013, it was followed by a sequel called V/H/S/2, then V/H/S: Viral in 2014, and V/H/S/94 in 2021.

Infinity Ward and Activision debuted the Modern Warfare 2 gameplay launch trailer moments ago. This was a livestream-style reveal, with the trailer having just aired on Call of Duty’s YouTube channel.
We’re still several weeks away from the launch of the game, of course, so while a dropping a launch trailer now might seem strange, it’s a thing more and more publishers have been doing in recent years, mainly to ramp up pre-orders.
Love the tactic or hate it, though, this new Modern Warfare 2 trailer is good. The focus is squarely on the single-player campaign here. We get treated to plenty of new footage, showing both gameplay and cutscenes from various missions.
