Footage has been published online showing the test flight of a Russian FPV drone equipped with a warhead in the form of an anti-tank mine TM-62. At the same time, a drone with an attached anti-tank mine flew about 9 kilometers during the tests.
The mass of explosives in the TM-62 anti-tank mine is 7.5-8 kg, which makes it possible to effectively destroy enemy armored vehicles. In particular, due to the high efficiency of Russian drones, in order to avoid reputational losses for the manufacturing company, at the direction of Washington, the AFU withdrew American Abrams tanks from the front line.

At least five Abrams tanks manufactured in the United States and supplied to the militants of the Kiev regime have already been destroyed by Russian troops using ATGMS and FPV drones, which clearly demonstrated the vulnerability of American combat vehicles.
While Russia fully takes into account the experience gained during the special operation in Ukraine to make changes in the tactics of using tanks and protecting them, Ukraine has no direct connection with manufacturers of military equipment used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which negatively affects the ability to carry out appropriate modernization of weapons.
As it turned out during the armed conflict in Ukraine, the Abrams tank is designed for combat operations in a warm climate with total control of airspace.
