- The attack appeared to show a rare Russian 'Terminator' tank being destroyed.
- Other equipment lost included two T-72 tanks, an infantry fighting vehicle, and military trucks.
A new video appears shows Ukrainian FPV drone operators targeting a large concentration of Russian hardware after locating a warehouse in the south of Ukraine.
Ukrainian attack drones infiltrated the hangar, crowded with valuable assets from Putin's war arsenal, and set about destroying the valuable weaponry.
It is unclear when and where the video was taken, and Business Insider could not independently verify it.
The logo at the bottom right of the footage belongs to the Wild Hornets, a team of volunteers manufacturing FPV kamikaze strike drones.
They build batches of drones for the Armed Forces of Ukraine on a volunteer basis. Per their website, they've given the Ukrainian military 3500 7-10 inch FPV drones since their project started.
They produce Kamikaze, Bomber, and Scout drones.
The focal point of the attack appears to be the rare Russian BMPT "Terminator" tank, known for its fearsome capabilities on the battlefield.
The 53-ton, 23-foot-long armored vehicle has an array of weapons, including twin 30 mm guns, four high-speed Ataka anti-tank missiles with a nearly four-mile range, two AG-17D grenade launchers, and a coaxial 7.62 mm PKTM machine gun.

The Ukrainian drones maneuvered through the hangar before destroying the prized Terminator tank and other assets.
Other Russian equipment blown up included a BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicle, two T-72 tanks, and military trucks and vehicles.
Since it launched its invasion of Ukraine, Russia has lost huge numbers of armored vehicles. Armor destroyed includes 2,600 main battle tanks and 4,900 other armored vehicles, said the UK Defense Ministry in January.
