https://xkcd.com/1053/ https://xkcd.com/1053/ https://old.reddit.com/r/combatfootage https://old.reddit.com/r/combatfootage is a good place to start. Every day. You could also search reddit for the keywords "turret toss". There's also zillions of youtube compilations that should be trivially findable. eg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=970c-takyAs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=970c-takyAs

  I haven't even watched it, I was just so certain that there would be. Just from scrubbing through and looking for the usual Betaflight OSD overlay, look at 26:30.

    that target doesn't look like a tank. Also not clear if it was "hobbyist-level FPV racing drone".

      Here's another video from googling "turret toss fpv" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbOnph18GL8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbOnph18GL8 If you think that looks like a high-level military drone, you're really reaching. You can see the coathanger wires at the front that set it off. They always look like something manufactured in a basement. Which they are.

        > Here's another video from googling "turret toss fpv" there is one case of "disabled" tank there at the end, others cases got footage cut and its not clear what happened after explosion, but looks like drone hit into open hatch in that case as very visible on video. This is another weakness in this approach: RPG-7 may not cut it against modern tank, you need some more modern, powerful and probably heavy warhead to penetrate reactive armor + regular armor. > They always look like something manufactured in a basement. Which they are. They were building own large drones from scratch from the beginning of the war: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R18_(drone) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R18_(drone) so I think discussion should be if "A largish 7" drone"(from your other comment) is widely available on civil market, which can carry 1kg payload with solid range(5-10 miles?). If such drones are available (I am not expert in this), then I assume civilians can build weaponized platform base on them. But looks like Ukrainians were forced to build their own thing.

        Like I said, do some googling for yourself if you're interested. There are a LOT of videos I've seen on reddit of tanks getting hit in the space between the turret and the base which sets off the ammo in the autoloader, with the expected effects. https://old.reddit.com/r/ukraine/comments/18s035v/new_turret_toss_champion/ https://old.reddit.com/r/ukraine/comments/18s035v/new_turret... https://www.google.com/search?q=site%253Areddit.com+turret+toss https://www.google.com/search?q=site%253Areddit.com+turret+t...

        > https://old.reddit.com/r/ukraine/comments/18s035v/new_turret https://old.reddit.com/r/ukraine/comments/18s035v/new_turret... this is exactly case from previous video when drone hit open hatch. I watch relevant videos, and I definitely don't see LOT of videos when drone destroys tank. This is actually first case I ever seen in my recollection.

      Here's a close up of one of the drones caught in a net. https://old.reddit.com/r/ukraina/comments/1b7x09k/%D0%BC%D0%B0%D1%81%D0%BA%D1%83%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%BD%D0%B0_%D1%81%D1%96%D1%82%D0%BA%D0%B0_%D0%B2%D1%80%D1%8F%D1%82%D1%83%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%B0_%D0%B2%D1%96%D0%B4_fpv%D0%B4%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%B0/ https://old.reddit.com/r/ukraina/comments/1b7x09k/%D0%BC%D0%...
