Video evidence.

Ukrainian troops from the MURAMASA unit, as part of Operation “Vivaldi,” succeeded in destroying a new Russian heavy flamethrower system, the “Dragon.”

A video posted on the 3rd Army Corps’ account on social media platform X shows a MURAMASA unit’s drone approaching the target from a distance of 12 km. The UAV operator managed to capture footage of the TOS-3 “Dragon” firing at least ten rounds. In the next frame, the drone flies up to the target at striking range and delivers a strike.

In the video caption, the corps noted that this was the first time a TOS-3 “Dragon” had been destroyed by “Troika” forces.
