A new video published on social networks shows two Russian tanks unsuccessfully trying to hide in a pile of trees from Ukrainian artillery.
The footage was shared by the administrators of the OSINTtechnical page, who note that the first tank, model T-80BV, hits a mine after crossing the road.

The video is somewhat reminiscent of another shot that appeared on social media the other day, which shows a Russian tank diving into a stream after trying to hide in a pile of trees from Ukrainian artillery.
What happens to the second tank in the new recording is less clear, but some netizens comment that it was actually attacked by a team of Ukrainians who set up an ambush.
In the video at 00:04, the shot appears to be fired from the right side of the pile of trees, just before the explosion near the tank. But you can also see how a projectile flies from behind a combat vehicle. The only thing that is reliable is that the second tank manages to escape for a moment, and the crew of the one that passed through the mine quickly leaves.
Another video posted on social media on Tuesday again showed a Russian armored vehicle inexplicably driving through a mine, although two other armored vehicles were left alongside it.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine, in a report released on Tuesday morning, estimated that since the start of the “special operation” on February 24, they destroyed 4,152 Russian armored personnel carriers and 1,880 tanks. However, these figures should be treated with caution as they cannot be independently verified.
