Russian Tank Filled with Explosives Creates Massive Explosion

In June 2023, chilling drone footage posted on social media unveils a Russian T-54 or T-55 tank, believed to be nearly seven decades old, slowly advancing towards Ukrainian defenses. But this weathered Main Battle Tank holds a sinister secret. Whispers from Pro-Russian sources suggest that beneath its aged exterior, this tank has been transformed into a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device, carrying a staggering payload of approximately 6 tonnes of TNT. Guided remotely, the tank slowly creeps forward until a sudden explosion halts its progress. The vehicle is then finally demolished by the Ukrainians in an enormous fireball that is so large it causes the screen to go blank for a second, followed by a massive cloud of smoke and fire that swallows the tank and all its surroundings. While the move seems to only be the latest attempt by Russia to halt the ongoing 2023 counteroffensive, according to some, converting T-54/55s into an explosive device might be only the test bed for an even more frightening invention. --- Dark Footage showcases the most unbelievable photos and videos from history while telling the stories behind the camera.
