You can see a soldier’s head pop out of the tank as it desperately tries to move through long, dry grass and fire at Ukrainian troops.
The Russian changes the direction of the tank, but a few seconds later the tank suddenly explodes in a huge fireball.
This is the devastating impact of the Ukrainian anti-tank mines.
The screen is engulfed in a cloud of smoke and fire after the initial impact, as shrapnel flies from the flames towards the camera.
Within seconds the camera is forced to zoom out, showing how colossal the clouds of smoke are, while the tank lies in a mangled heap beneath them.
PutinThe country’s T-90M tanks are thought to be its most advanced weapon of war yet – worth £4 million each – and before the war they were considered the pride of the Russian army.
It features an upgrade armor, automatic target tracking, greater accuracyand the ability to fire rockets as well as grenades and machine gun rounds.
Each T-90M has a crew of three (a commander, a gunner and a driver) and can reach a speed of up to 60 km/h on roads with a range of 550 km.
It is protected with Relikt explosive reactive armor, which should protect it against tandem warheads and armor-piercing sabot rounds.
When attacked by a laser beam, it can also fire smoke grenades to reduce the chance of being hit by semi-automatic guided anti-tank weapons.
Still, despite all the state-of-the-art weapons and armor, the tank was no match for the Ukrainian side.
Before the warRussia was said to have 100 of these tanks, but at least two have now been destroyed.
Back in 2022, The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense has released images of the burned out casing of the same tank, with a large hole through the vehicle’s tracks and curved armor plates.
It suggests the missile punched through the tank’s wheels, evading its advanced armor and defense systems, exploding in the engine compartment and detonating ammunition along the way.
At the time, Ukraine claimed the tank was destroyed by a Swedish-made Carl Gustaf recoilless rifle rocket launcher that cost a relatively modest £18,500, including the rocket.
In a tweet, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense said: “The pride of the Russian tank industry was destroyed by the Swedish hand-held anti-tank grenade launcher Carl Gustaf.
“We thank the Swedish people and the king for their help.”
Dramatic images of an attack nearby Avdiivka is also circulating on social media.
The shock images captured the moment another of Putin’s millions of T-80BVM tanks was torn apart in a fiery mess.
While images of an attack are near Bakmutwhen a Ukrainian kamikaze drone destroyed a T-72 tankhas also been released.
The deadly FPV can be seen approaching $500,000 tank that had fired at Ukrainian soldiers, met it with impressive speed and crashed straight into it.
It is estimated that Putin also lost nearly $1 billion after Ukraine shot down an eleventh Russian fighter jet todayFebruary 29.
The Ukrainian Air Force today claimed that a Su-34 fighter-bomber was hit in the “eastern direction” of the front.
They wrote on Telegram: “Today, February 29, is a date that occurs once every four years, but it is already a familiar day for the Russians with the loss of another aircraft.
“Minus Su-34 eastbound! Thanks for the work!”
