The Armed Forces tried to steal the Swedish Tank Strv 122: FPV-Drones were not allowed-Forbes (video)

Sweden handed over to Ukraine 10 four -seater Strv 122 weighing 69 tons with a dense armor towers and a smooth -bore weapon of 120 mm caliber. All 10 tanks are in the 21st OMB, which protects the forest area in the Kreminna area. According to journalists, during a year of heavy fighting, the Tanks of Strv 122 were suffering mainly from mines, FPV-punks and anti-tank missiles. The Armed Forces were lost at least one Strv 122.

According to Oryx, six Strv 122 was damaged, and the 21st brigade temporarily left five damaged tanks on the road and fields around Kreminna. For Ukrainian engineers, standard practice is to restore damaged tanks and send them to Lithuania for (very slow) repairs. The easiest way to capture the Strv 122 tank for the Russians is to immobilize it and towns it earlier than it will be done by the Armed Forces fighters.

Recently, this opportunity has appeared in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. On March 10, the Russian FPV-Dron impressed Strv 122 a little more than a kilometer east of the main garrison of the 21st Brigade in Turn. The Strv 122 crew was evacuated and left a damaged tank. Russian engineers got to him first. A pair of evacuation machines Brem began to pull Strv 122 to Russian positions.

They went half the way before they were noticed by the fighters of the 3rd OSHBR who fought in the Avdiivka area. The 3rd assault drones were initially attacked the main Bram, circling around a 45-ton machine until one hit the rear diesel engine. As a result, two FPV struck in the engine area, and the third hit the rear bom's motor compartment. The fourth circled over the already stopped armored vehicles, examining the damage.

The Russians did not move far with their trophy, may be halfway of a neutral strip, which divides Ukrainian and Russian troops east of the thorns. The 21st brigade may try to return Strv 122. After all, the drones attacked Bram, which towed Strv 122, but made efforts to not impress the tank itself. The unsuccessful attempt of the Russians to pick up the tank indicates how dangerous it is.
