A stunning new video that has appeared on social networks shows how a Ukrainian armored personnel carrier manages to “cheat death”, escaping in a few seconds from powerful explosions that, most likely, could destroy it.

The footage shows an infantry fighting vehicle running away from an improvised explosive device (IED) or time-delayed mine blast after it crashes into it, only to run away again at 23 seconds into the video. An anti-tank shell whizzes past it.

However, it should be noted that the video recording stops before you can see what happens next. But it’s like shooting a drone, which the Russians use to adjust artillery fire, they have no reason to cut it down if they managed to hit an armored car with another projectile.

As one of the commentators points out, in this case, speed is the key, as cars at such speeds are difficult to hit on target, even for the most experienced shooters.

Many netizens also noted the stark contrast of this footage to another footage that surfaced on social media today, showing a Russian armored personnel carrier nonchalantly driving into a prominent line of road mines, completely obliterating loud explosions.

This record is so strange that several prominent military analysts have commented on it since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, including Mark Lee, a fellow at the Institute for Foreign Policy Studies, and Mark Hertling, the former commander of US forces in Europe. it.
