Ukraine has destroyed an ultra-rare Soviet-era armoured vehicle that was first field-tested by the Russians at Chernobyl.
Battlefield footage shared on social media appeared to show the Ladoga nuclear command vehicle being targeted by a Ukrainian drone.
The vehicle was designed in the seventies to move senior Kremlin staff around in the event of a nuclear attack.
The “front lines” stretch back a fair bit when one considers drones.
But to guess at some applications:
APC. Your goal is to move people without them getting ambushed by small arms and shrapnel. Not proof against a drone with sufficient payload, but the same is true for APCs.
Armored ambulance, if it’s got large enough hatches.
Use it as a command vehicle, if it’s got radios and space. If it’s got radios and such…shrugs
