Ukrainian UAV Defeats Russian "Dragon"

Video evidence.

Ukrainian troops from the MURAMASA unit, as part of Operation “Vivaldi,” succeeded in destroying a new Russian heavy flamethrower system, the “Dragon.”

A video posted on the 3rd Army Corps’ account on social media platform X shows a MURAMASA unit’s drone approaching the target from a distance of 12 km. The UAV operator managed to capture footage of the TOS-3 “Dragon” firing at least ten rounds. In the next frame, the drone flies up to the target at striking range and delivers a strike.

In the video caption, the corps noted that this was the first time a TOS-3 “Dragon” had been destroyed by “Troika” forces.

The first destruction of a TOS-3 “Dragon” by “Troika” forces.

During Operation “Vivaldi,” operators of the MURAMASA system from the 21st Special Forces Battalion “KRAKEN” struck a Russian TOS-3 “Dragon” heavy flamethrower system—the enemy’s latest development—for the first time.

This is yet another result of the Troika’s systematic efforts to destroy enemy weaponry and weaken the enemy’s combat capabilities.
