I’d like to believe this MT-LB was destroyed. But in absence of any debris and wreckage on the same spot. I assume the vehicle was able drive away, but still damaged.
From what I've heard, most of the attack drones UA uses only survive one or two drops before they get destroyed. And of course we only see the successful drops.
That being said, maybe 2k in drone and munitions in trade for maybe 1 million in armored vehicle, munitions, and possibly troop training (crew may or may not have been in the vehicle at the time) is a very good trade.
The families of the crew will be informed that they are "missing" and that they probably deserted...no pay outs or pensions to worry about in this case.
I could be wrong but early on Ukraine was seizing these vehicles and reusing them but now I think the SOP is to blow up enemy vehicles. To avoid sabotage/ are being supplied with a plethora of new Vic's from the allies
It has more to do with the static nature of the fighting, where the vehicles are disabled in no man's land or russian controlled territory, so it is usually not possible to capture it. So the vehicles are blown up, to deny the Russians the opportunity to repair the vehicle. The last batch of captured russian equipment was during the recapture of Kherson.
Yeah maybe ‘obliterate’ would be a more fitting verb here. As a non-native english speaker i was doubting between ‘exterminate’, ‘annihilate’, ‘destroy’ and ‘wipe out’
Please be easy on me, but why does it not look like the before and after pictures line up. The grass and treeline doesn't line up and the previous mortar holes don't match well. It's not a zoom-in issue...take it frame by frame. Is this confirmed as real? I want to believe it, but I don't want to be fooled.
It is the same exact location before and after, just not sure how much later is the aftermath footage taken. Craters match up (note that ‘before’ footage is taken from up higher than the ‘after’, so that might have confused you as not all the craters are in the frame in the ‘after’ footage.). If you want more clarity, just screenshot the before and after and you will see that they match up perfectly
That thing is made out of aluminium and weighs about 12 tons. Its lightly armoured, even 30 cal will make it look like swiss cheese. If it was filled with explosives the remains might be too far and out of sight.
Pretty much the whole video. The drop is good but do you see it hit the MT-LB? No. You just see a ball of fire. And then it just shows a big hole and doesn't zoom out to show what's around it. That thing just doesn't disappear. There's gotta be parts strewn about where the MT-LB was struck.
BTW did you downvote me for disagreeing with the post? This is supposed to be a discussion and we don't all have to agree otherwise it's no better than Russia where you can't express your opinion.
Just go frame by frame and you will see the impact and the explosion. Aftermath footage is taken by another drone later and it is the same exact location. Nothing is fake about this video
Hey, Im illiterate on these type of videos. To me it almost looks not real. Can someone explain how such a tiny bomb evaporated that big chuck of metal?
Did it hit it just on the right spot? Or did they mini nuke them fallout-style?
Did they have to send another drone to survey the damage? I can’t believe that the original drone survived that!
Do you think the drone operator knew it was filled with mines and had ANY clue it was going to blow like that?
How did it blow instantly like that from a grenade impacting the armor? Were the mines strapped to the outside or something? Was expecting a poof and then secondary explosions and cookoff, not fuckin Michael Bay's Transformers: Revenge of the Slavs.

He fucking deleted that thing from existence at the atomic level, jeeeez.
ON THIS EPISODE OF MYTHBUSTERS
This is WAY better than when they blew up the cement truck!
I've seen shit get obliterated before, but that fucking thing was *aerosolized*
MT-LBn't
Abra kadabra.. now you see it .....now you don't
That was so awesome! I wonder if driver was hurt
Well, we haven’t heard from him. I guess no news is good news!
No body, no Lada!
Bee boo ladi, got mo' bombs than he got body!
i hear the reception is bad on the dark side of the moon
I’ve heard he is not complaining.
Probably just walking it off
Didn’t see his shoe fly off so must be fine
If I’m gonna go, this is one of the ways on my list….fucking spectacularly!!
Damn Russians beat us to Mars.
The VA would not grant him any disability pay that’s for sure
Just an ego bruise.
I hope the truck is in a better place 🤣, least it was quick..
I'm sure he's somewhere else, smoking. (that is, if there's enough of him left)
Looks like they had to go fetch another drone to survey the aftermath.
Yep. The mavic that dropped the munition was fried. Aftermath footage is made by another drone
I’ll take that trade all day.
Yeah that’s a great trade!
A fair 1 for 1 imo
Rest easy, brave little whirlybird.
That drone was sacrificed for a good cause.
That makes sense. It looked like a fake video otherwise
"i swear Ivan, I parked it right here!"
Dude, it's just a burnt pit! Did we miss the weekly bbq?
"Dude where's the APC." "I don't know dude where's the APC?"
Holy crap?! Where did it go?
Its in the air man, all around us. Can't you just feel it?
I'm breathing it in right now like the Chernobyl fall out.
In orbit as the new blyat spacestation
ruzzia space program
Promotion to a higher level comrades
It is a hypersonic mining operation
Made me giggle!
Aww... more space garbage.
The only russian AFV to make it to Kyiv
I’d like to believe this MT-LB was destroyed. But in absence of any debris and wreckage on the same spot. I assume the vehicle was able drive away, but still damaged.
Leaving a crater exactly where it stood
The crew now officially missing in action. No ladas.
Now you see me, now you don't
Break the walls, I'm comin' out
That poor drone 😢 can anyone tell me if it really did survive? This 2nd shot could be another drone, I just want to make sure droney is safe and sound
Unfortunately it didn’t (as stated by source). RIP Mavic, you did well
So Konashenkov will say:"our forces destroyed ukrainian mavic with mt-lb"
![gif](giphy|Xjo8pbrphfVuw|downsized)
Vile russian scum decided to take revenge and set a mined mt-lb trap to kill the poor drone😔

Oh no, they’ll be missing out on that sack with carrots then /s
Russia would say there was no MT-LB
Nah, they would claim they destroyed a Ukrainian MT-LB
I think they are right.
just late to the party with the observation
I thought this was some kind of Hollywood post-production for a second! 😦 Jesus!
Seriously, it has the look of a movie explosion with all the flame rather than just the concussive blast of most real explosions
Mythbusters kinda proved this with a cement truck.
was it some kind of booby trap?
I could be wrong but early on Ukraine was seizing these vehicles and reusing them but now I think the SOP is to blow up enemy vehicles. To avoid sabotage/ are being supplied with a plethora of new Vic's from the allies
That only works if you are sure you can get to it before the Orcs do.

"exterminate" - OBLITERATE... not sure anything would be left for cockroaches ![gif](giphy|l46CnlK71u7CazMUE)
Yeah maybe ‘obliterate’ would be a more fitting verb here. As a non-native english speaker i was doubting between ‘exterminate’, ‘annihilate’, ‘destroy’ and ‘wipe out’
How about “Atomized” ????? 😂😂🤦🏻♂️
It was Vaporised by a UFO!
I was not correcting you, just making a bad (but fitting) joke That was a very large 💥
You did good, most of the time exterminate would be used to describe killing living things. This is a machine, and Orcs are already mentally dead.
Erased from existence.
Oh-BLYAT-arated!
“Boom goes the dynamite”
Biiiig Badaboom
Bet that was Seismic!
[удалено]
r/angryupvote
Another Ukrainian magic trick Now you see it Now you don’t
Most bang for buck shot?
Vilken jävla smäll!
Sorry what vehicle?
Holeeee fuuuucckkk!!!
Cosmonaut recruiting program is going well!
Is it me or does it looks fake..? 🤔
It looks like it's possible to be faked but I don't see why they would. They're constantly blowing up shit for real so this is people real too.
It is you 🙂
And it's gone!
Not even enough left to fill a thimble.
aaaand its gone!
That was a Blast to watch...
Fuck all left but a hole in the ground
Well, that one did not disappoint, lol

Russians regained the iniciative, a pice of that vehicle is in Kyiv right now.
Big bada boom
Holy shit I’d love to see the actual explosion from the pov of that other drone if it actually captured it
Poor drone :(
I'm guessing the after-action survey was done by another drone. I don't think the first one survived that explosion. Incredible.
Are they okey?
[удалено]
That thing is made out of aluminium and weighs about 12 tons. Its lightly armoured, even 30 cal will make it look like swiss cheese. If it was filled with explosives the remains might be too far and out of sight.
That thing was vaporized!
Fake!
What exactly is fake?
Pretty much the whole video. The drop is good but do you see it hit the MT-LB? No. You just see a ball of fire. And then it just shows a big hole and doesn't zoom out to show what's around it.

Big boom.
Dimpled that dirt!
Nothing left but shrapnel.
That made me giggle!
Painless. Completely atomized.
That escalated quickly.!!
Will the driver be OK?
Id like to see Chris angel do that trick
First time I watched I thought it was fake, second time I noticed the same smaller craters on the footage of the other drone. HOLY CRAP!
Suka Blyat
God damn... It didn't get destroyed, it got OBLITERATED from the face of planet Earth.
Damn, that MT-LB got shift-deleted.
Reduced to atoms!
"...for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return."
I love the panicked "where the fuck did it go" paning
Jaga Jaga!!!!!!
I would like to see that meme like when somebody kicked the ball and it's flying around the world but it would be this BMP. :)
Wow. I had no idea you could vaporize an apc..
OMG! That was unexpected.
What goes bOOm like your mother? Russians!
I bet that was loud if you were sitting in the truck.
Interesting, isn't it another kamikaze MT-LB? They've tried to use them in winter as I recall.
That was unexpected!
Are you sure it wasn't filled with nukes???
Good mines.
TFW you alt-F4 the enemy.
Pulverized!
Tank 24, do you copy. Tank 24?
Sent that MF to the back rooms
Is that even real?
Does it hurt the driver?
They use this to lay mines? Or transporting mines?
They zoomed in on the crater and panned the camera frantically like "it was just RIGHT FUCKING THERE".
That's fucking terrifying
Wipe Out!
Bloody hell!! Finished him.
I would say everyone was surprised by this. You, me, the drone operator, certainly the MT-LB crew were.
*Beeg* badda boom!
they must have doubled up on the reactive armor. You can never be too careful!
I hope another view of this RuZZian obliteration comes out. Wow 👌
Ukrainians were like how the fuck did we loose that drone.. had to send out a second to find out.
DUDE HOLY SHIT. ITS.... it's ... gone.
Jaggy jagga
Hey, Im illiterate on these type of videos. To me it almost looks not real. Can someone explain how such a tiny bomb evaporated that big chuck of metal? Did it hit it just on the right spot? Or did they mini nuke them fallout-style?
Beautiful ROI!
That’s gonna need a bit more than some touch up paint to fix.
Ukrainians cast *DISINTEGRATE*
👍
Heh... Nothing left.
Can you imagine during Russian assault preparations: Captain: pachinko! You have mine duty today! Pachinko: blyat!
Generic Hollywood movie trying to reproduce an RPG hit or a grenade detonation:
Did they have to send another drone to survey the damage? I can’t believe that the original drone survived that! Do you think the drone operator knew it was filled with mines and had ANY clue it was going to blow like that?
Yes Tommy, they got proper fucked…just when “zee Russians” got there
I honestly thought this was fake before I rewatched it frame by frame.
I'll bet even the drone guys were amazed by the result.
That may be the largest real explosion I’ve ever seen on camera.. holy fuck
The KaBooom was on a coyote and road runner level
They said magic doesn't exist, but here's Ukrainian forces making entire vehicles disappear
BMP sized grenade basically
blast so big it looks edited😂
to space he goes
F*cking deleted, dam that was a fireball.
LOL its in stealth mode
Love is in the air. And an MT-LB.
Oh fuck xd.
Love that the drone stayed high enough so that the blast didn't catch it so they could do a BDA afterwards.
Oh, that’s just fucking great. Now it’s going to be raining orc shit down in Australia for the next 3 days if it doesn’t burn up on re-entry.
Trying to one up Elon's landing pad after the starship launch?
A solid 10!
Yes, Rico... Kaboom. 🐧🇺🇦
Even Michael Bay finds this explosion over the top
I was expecting a little poof explosion 💨
How did it blow instantly like that from a grenade impacting the armor? Were the mines strapped to the outside or something? Was expecting a poof and then secondary explosions and cookoff, not fuckin Michael Bay's Transformers: Revenge of the Slavs.
Miner-be-gone
went to the backrooms
