Drone footage shows two tanks attacking in the middle of an empty field and engaging in a firefight.

One of the tanks is hit by an anti-tank weapon, most likely a Javelin missile – it explodes and is quickly disabled.

The second is performing retreat maneuvers, but during flight it is hit directly in the side by an anti-tank guided missile – most likely a Javelin missile. There is an explosion, many elements on the tank are thrown into the air, but the armored car manages to continue on its way and gains speed, trying to escape.

Having traveled several hundred meters at high speed, the Russian tank explodes spectacularly, most likely after running into an anti-tank mine.

“Once again, Russian tanks tried to break through the positions of our armed forces. But our soldiers were always ready and received uninvited guests with great warmth. The first tank was hit immediately. The crew of the second one tried to escape, and at the moment it seemed that they would succeed,” the 59th OMbr of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said in a statement.
