Russia’s Defense Ministry says strike teams operating FPV drones from the «Rubikon» advanced unmanned systems test center have hit enemy armored vehicles in the special military operation zone, including Leopard 1A5 tanks.

According to the ministry, it has released footage showing the destruction of both soft-skinned and armored vehicles — among them German-made Leopard 1A5 tanks — as well as elements of enemy communications systems. The published material also includes video of Russian drones ramming opposing UAVs in midair.

The ministry had previously reported that heavy Western-made equipment used by Ukrainian forces was destroyed by crews operating the Lancet reconnaissance-strike complex. By its account, the operators have already taken out two US-made Abrams tanks and three German Leopard tanks.

Military channels also earlier reported that Russian units in the Konstantinovka area destroyed another Ukrainian Leopard tank, which had been initially detected by a reconnaissance drone.
