Desperate occupiers must have greatly offended the leadership, otherwise it is very difficult to understand the motivation for such actions. Two Russians on a motorcycle went to storm the company stronghold of the K-2 Battalion. After firing rounds, drops from drones and artillery, it was decided not to waste the precious BC and put an anti-tank mine on the MT-LB. We thought they had no chance, but "the Russians don't give up."

Two motorcyclists storm a company of the K-2 Battalion.

Maybe the idea was that it was some kind of reconnaissance effort. Or sticking someone with an anti-tank weapon in an ambush position. The guy on the back looked like he was messing around with an RPG or something once he got off but before shooting at the drone.

Also...I gotta say that if Ukraine's switched over to using anti-tank mines with remote detonators as bombs on their UAVs, I don't know how much good that anti-drone protection that Russia's been putting on vehicles is going to do. That stuff's useful if you're dropping an antipersonnel grenade directly into a hatch, maybe. But I don't think that it's gonna protect against an anti-tank mine.
