Ukraine Destroys Russia's $4.5 Million 'Best Tank'

FPV drone attack destroys Russia's flagship T-90M Proryv tank.

The T-90M Proryv tank represents the pinnacle of Russian armored warfare development, with improved Relikt explosive reactive armor, upgraded fire control systems, and improved survivability against modern anti-tank guided missiles. Photo: @Wikipedia.

However, the encounter with the Ukrainian FPV drone highlights the growing threat from cheap, easily deployable unmanned aerial systems capable of targeting vulnerable points such as the engine compartment, optics, and ammunition storage compartments on the T-90M Proryv tank. Photo: @Wikipedia.

For example, recently, operators of the 429th Independent Unmanned Systems Regiment "Achilles" of Ukraine destroyed the latest Russian T-90M Proryv tank. Photo: @429th Independent Unmanned Systems "Achilles".

The incident occurred on one of the key front lines, the Command of the Unmanned Systems of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said. Photo: @Independent Unmanned Systems 429 "Achilles".

The ministry also noted that the Russian T-90M Proryv tank was destroyed by an FPV drone, which helped to disable and destroy the tank. Photo: @429 "Achilles" Independent Unmanned Aircraft System.

The Command of the Unmanned Systems Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine stressed that this is the most modern and expensive tank of the Russian Armed Forces. It was put into service in 2020, at a cost of about $ 4.5 million. Photo: @Wikipedia.

In addition, at the front line, operators of the 429th Independent Unmanned Systems Regiment "Achilles" used precision strikes to disable another Russian tank hiding in a forest strip, as well as destroy a BM-21 Grad multiple launch rocket system, a Tiger armored fighting vehicle and a Russian KAMAZ truck.

"Built-in vehicles, destroyed personnel and a broken logistics chain - these are the consequences of precision strikes by the 429th Independent Unmanned Systems Regiment "Achilles" in one of the key front-line directions," the Command of the Unmanned Systems Forces said.

The ministry also noted that the unit's air reconnaissance and attack drone squadrons always strictly control their areas of responsibility. They act very professionally and quickly, so that from the moment of detecting the target to destroying it, it takes only a few minutes. Photo: @429 "Achilles" Independent Unmanned Aerial System.

"Our fighters proved that neither speed nor electronic warfare means can save the Russian forces," the Ukrainian Unmanned Systems Force emphasized. Photo: @429 "Achilles" Independent Unmanned Systems.

According to Defense Express, the Achilles Regiment previously destroyed a T-90M tank and damaged another in the Kharkiv region in late March 2025. Photo: @429th Independent Unmanned Aircraft System "Achilles".
