Footage shows a Russian BTR-82 crew attempting to dislodge a tank that is stuck in the mud. The Ukrainians are watching and recording the process, and they begin spinning up an FPV loitering munition to interrupt to recovery operation.

There is a break in the footage just before the strike. As the bomb drone hits, no Russian troops are visible. It's possible they are inside the BTR or have recently abandoned it as the BTR may now be stuck in the mud as well.

The resulting blast is ridiculously catastrophic for the BTR. It literally tears the front half completely off and scatters it across the battlefield for several meters.
