The recording made by Gopro attached to a soldier’s helmet, captured the moment of panic when the soldiers noticed the approaching kamikaze drone. A few seconds after they left the vehicle, the unmanned aircraft hit Desertcross directly and caused a strong explosion.
The vehicle is at the center of attention
Desertcross 1000-3 manufactured in China is a lightweight, three-person commercial vehicle that is often used by Russian forces for rapid transport in heavy terrain. In 2023, the use of the Ukrainian front was increased and, due to weak armor, often became the target of FPV drones.
The video is quickly spread in social media and conflict-related Telegram channels, and analysts say it is another example of drones in modern warfare.
