Russia Put a T-72, Tigr, Fuel Truck, and Two Guns in One Place—Then Ukrainian FPVs Arrived

Ukrainian drone operators destroyed several high-value Russian targets in a single location in the Prydniprovske sector after reconnaissance teams discovered a T-72 tank, a Tigr armored vehicle, a fuel truck, and two D-30 howitzers hidden together, Ukraine’s State Border Guard Service reported on October 8.

According to Ukrainian troops, Russian forces made a costly mistake by concentrating armored vehicles, artillery, and a logistics vehicle at the same site instead of dispersing them.

Aerial reconnaissance operators first identified the building being used to conceal the equipment. Inside and around the position, they spotted the T-72, the Tigr, the fuel tanker, and two 122mm D-30 artillery pieces.

Once the targets were confirmed, Ukrainian FPV operators moved in.

“FPV drones immediately ‘arrived’ at the detected targets, burning them and turning them into scrap metal,” the State Border Guard Service said.

Video released by the service shows Ukrainian drones engaging the equipment at the site. By placing several valuable assets close together, Russian forces effectively gave the drone crews an opportunity to strike armor, artillery, and logistics during the same operation.

The T-72 remains one of the most widely used tanks in Russian service, while the Tigr is commonly used for troop transport, reconnaissance, and other battlefield tasks.

The D-30, a Soviet-designed 122mm towed howitzer, continues to be used extensively by Russian forces for artillery support.

Previously, Ukrainian drone operators struck a Russian Osa short-range air defense system twice on the Donbas front.
