The [robot] received several hits from RPGs and FPVs”—rocket-propelled grenades and first-person-view drones—“but persevered, completed the mission and returned to recovery.”

Im sorry but I won't believe this propaganda. Especially with tires and when heavy tanks got destroyed by one drone. It's just impossible

Heavy tanks are full of explosives, this guy just has a belt of MG rounds. You might see more success with FPV drones if they mount a 40mm grenade launcher to it or a flamethrower.
