A burning Novator armored vehicle evacuated its crew after being hit by a Russian FPV drone.
The Novator drove away from its position while on fire and covered around 20 km to transport a National Police rifle battalion crew in Chernihiv region to their base. All police officers survived.
During four months of service, the vehicle completed around 100 missions and survived strikes from 10 FPV drones. It was used for logistical missions in eastern Ukraine.
