A Russian serviceman of the 15th separate motorised rifle brigade of the Central Military District with the call sign "Kolovrat" who destroyed the first U.S.-made Abrams tank in the Avdiivka sector of the front line amid Russia's military operation in Ukraine, demonstrates patches reading "Black Hussars" and depicting and icon of Yevgeny Rodionov, a Russian soldier beheaded by Chechen rebels in 1996, to journalists at the unknown location, Russia. Russia's Defence Ministry said on February 27 that a Russian FPV (First Person View) drone named "Piranha" had destroyed an American Abrams battle tank, the first such claim since Washington delivered the heavy vehicles to Kyiv.
