Ukraine has destroyed an ultra-rare Soviet-era armoured vehicle that was first field-tested by the Russians at Chernobyl.

Battlefield footage shared on social media appeared to show the Ladoga nuclear command vehicle being targeted by a Ukrainian drone.

The vehicle was designed in the seventies to move senior Kremlin staff around in the event of a nuclear attack.

    Honestly kind of a shame that 1 of possibly less than 5 of these got destroyed… belongs in a museum.

    Oh well, should’ve stayed in Russia

      … belongs in a museum.

      It wouldn’t surprised me to find out orcs looted it from a museum and pressed it into service again.
