Interesting endgame study in tactics

Today in my tactics I encountered an interesting endgame study where each side has a single rook but one of them wins. Here is my video of the whole tactic series but if you are interested only in that study then it starts after around 12 minutes (I really suggest to stop the video and solve it yourself and provide a complete solution, this is a very nice endgame study I believe).

It really looks drawn at first.

Yeah very much drawish looking, even after you see the check looks drawish. It is interesting that many cases of R+K vs R+K+P  is draw but this one is R+P+K vs R+P+k and still win.
