Ukrainian APC destroyed by bomber drone in trick strike (MOD VIDEO)
The Russian military has released a new video showcasing the destruction of a military vehicle at the front
The Russian Defense Ministry has released a new video reportedly showing the destruction of a Ukrainian armored personnel carrier (APC) by a bomber drone.
The thermal video, reportedly taken by the bomber drone itself, was captured at the Vremevka Ledge, a string of villages in the west of Donetsk People’s Republic. The area saw active combat during the ultimately disastrous Ukrainian counteroffensive last year. In recent weeks, it has seen a new uptick in fighting, with the Russian military advancing at multiple locations.
The video shows the Ukrainian armored personnel carrier, apparently an old Vietnam War-era US-made M113 or a similar vehicle, poorly concealed in shrubbery. It had apparently sustained a hit offscreen, likely by an FPV kamikaze drone, before the bomber UAV finished it off. The APC is missing its engine cover, its anti-drone netting is torn, and its supports are visibly bent.
The bomber drops what appears to be a hand grenade right into the half-open top hatch of the APC, prompting the troops inside to attempt to evacuate.
The munition, however, goes off, causing a massive blast and fire inside the APC, likely triggering extra ammo kept inside. The footage ends with a flyover of the destroyed vehicle, with the corpses of its occupants visible from the opened rear ramp.
Bomber drones have been actively used by both sides of the conflict, with such UAVs deployed to strike stationary or abandoned vehicles, fixed positions, groups of soldiers, and so on. The bomber drones commonly carry a handful of small munitions, such as hand grenades, modified ammo for automatic grenade launchers, or homemade explosive devices. Heavier models can carry mortar and land mines, engineering munitions and other heavier explosives.

Coup attempt in South Korea: What was it all about?
The short-lived period of martial law was the result of a complex internal power struggle and will likely lead to the president’s downfall
The political crisis that culminated in South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol’s short-lived attempt to establish martial law, which was lifted just five and a half hours after he declared it, did not come out of the blue. While the opposition has been quick to spread its own narrative, there is no doubt that the situation is more complex and requires closer analysis.
The situation in context
The issue goes back to the 2022 South Korea presidential elections. At that time, Yoon Suk Yeol – a former prosecutor general who, following a conflict with then-South Korean President Moon Jae-in had switched to the conservative camp (despite the fact that earlier, Yoon had prosecuted two conservative presidents) – and won the presidential elections by 0.73%, an unprecedentedly thin margin in Korean history.
From the start, Yoon faced a challenge, since the opposition, the Democratic Party, held a qualified majority slightly more than half but less than two-thirds of the seats in the National Assembly.
This power dynamic allowed South Korea’s Democratic Party to block presidential initiatives while pushing their own agendas, which in turn were often vetoed by the president. This situation largely paralyzed legislative activity and fueled the polarization of society.
The parliamentary elections in April 2024 did little to change things. While these elections have been called a significant defeat for the ruling party, the conservatives actually garnered slightly more votes than four years earlier (108 versus 103). The Democratic Party failed to secure a two-thirds majority, but it still held a qualified majority, which allows to pass or block legislation without regard for political opponents. At that point, it became clear that the crisis that had paralyzed the national legislature would persist for the remainder of Yoon’s term.
Simultaneously, the government initiated criminal proceedings against the controversial opposition leader, Lee Jae-myung, who had largely turned the Democratic Party into his personal fan club. There are substantial grounds for the allegations against him, and setting aside the political polarization of society, he would have likely been imprisoned anyway – even considering the fact that five key witnesses in various cases either died or committed suicide before they could testify. In one case, he received a suspended sentence, while another case resulted in acquittal (which was deemed a legal miracle). However, he still faces four additional verdicts.
Given that even a suspended sentence approved by the Supreme Court would end Lee’s political career, the situation swiftly evolved into a race of “who will bury whom first”: either the government would convict the leaders of the Democratic Party, or the latter would successfully initiate impeachment proceedings against the president.
Tensions within the ruling party, exacerbated by a campaign called “People for Impeachment” and backed by associated NGOs (including labor unions, university professors, and Catholic clergy), theoretically gave the opposition a chance to amass 200 votes – enough to proceed with impeachment regardless of the underlying reason. However, most of the accusations leveled against the president by opponents are as groundless as his own claims about anti-state or pro-North Korean forces, which he used to justify the imposed martial law.

WATCH: EPA Advisor Caught on Undercover Video Admitting “Insurance Policy” Against Trump is Funneling Billions to Climate Organizations
Project Veritas caught Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Advisor Brent Efron on undercover video admitting there is an “insurance policy” against President Trump.
President Trump nominated Lee Zeldin to run the EPA.
“It was an insurance policy against Trump winning,” Brent Efron told Project Veritas undercover journalist.
“Get the money out as fast as possible before they [Trump Administration] come in … it’s like we’re on the Titanic and we’re throwing gold bars off the edge,” Efron said.
Via Project Veritas:
Efron spoke to a Project Veritas investigative journalist about his role in doling out over $100 billion in grants to nonprofits under Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act, which he dubs “Biden’s climate law.” The EPA’s website describes these grants as part of their mission to advance “environmental and climate justice.”
Efron even admits that the EPA is scrambling to push money out the door for projects originally designed for a Kamala Harris presidency.
“The thing that we haven’t funded yet are [sic] the local nonprofit program that was going to be an inter-Kamala Harris administration program… so now we’re getting it [funding] out as quick as possible. It’s like two billion at this point, we’ve got most of it out – like 90%.”
So committed are these staffers, Efron confesses, that they plan to work right up until the final moments on inauguration day, rushing to ensure that every possible tax-payer dollar is disbursed before a Republican administration can turn off the spigot.
“It’s until the Trump people come in and tell us we can no longer give out money. That’s at the very earliest the 20th [January 2025]. But it’s probably a little bit after because they have to get in the building and tell people what to do.”
Efron predicts that the Trump administration will swiftly issue an order to block all grants, with Congress potentially trying to claw back the EPA’s funding. Anticipating this, he reveals that the EPA has been working to funnel money to aligned nonprofits capable of implementing climate change policies at the local level, viewing it as an “insurance policy” against the upcoming Trump presidency.
