In an extraordinary event reported today, May 31, 2026, a Ukrainian army M113 evacuation APC managed to survive a series of nine explosions caused by hits from Russian FPV drones in the Konstantinovka area of the Donetsk region.
According to a report by the БУТУСОВ ПЛЮС channel, which is known for its pro-Ukrainian coverage close to the forces on the ground, the armored vehicle "simply went through a swarm of Russian FPV drones" in order to reach soldiers of the "Luhansk" battalion who were wounded in the "red zone" and rescue them from the battlefield.
The footage, originally published by the Ukrainian National Police's "Lut" (Rage) Assault Brigade, demonstrates the durability of the Western vehicle under intense attack. The information was verified and shared by the channels Реальна Війна 18+ | Новини з фронту and ЗСУ ДВІЖ △💪🇺🇦, according to Butusov Plus.
This event highlights the difficult challenges facing Ukrainian evacuation forces, which are forced to maneuver under the constant threat of cheap but lethal attack drones in the Donbas combat zones.
