Russian troops launched an attack on Ukrainian positions in the Luhansk region. But as footage that appeared online shows, not everything went as planned.
One of the soldiers filmed the unsuccessful event with his cell phone. In the approximately two-minute video released by Ukrainian soldiers from the 100th Separate Brigade, the Russian can be seen fixing his phone and sticking out his tongue.
He then gets into the tank and sets off towards the enemy positions along with the armored fighting vehicle.
Ukrainian defenders open fire on the armored car. The tank following him apparently hits a mine and stops. The crew fires several times and abandons the aircraft.
According to the Kyiv Post, the Ukrainians found the video, the authenticity of which cannot be independently verified, on a destroyed tank and supplemented it with footage from drones. They killed the fleeing Russian soldiers, including the owner of the phone, with grenades dropped from drones.
