A BTR-4 is a Ukrainian amphibious armoured personnel carrier, first used in the previous Russia-Ukraine war in 2014. It comes equipped with a 30mm cannon as standard. The Russian vehicles struck in the latest video are reportedly a BTR-82A armoured personnel carrier and a T-72B3 tank.

Next, as Russian soldiers look around for the source of the attack, the tank is blasted repeatedly. The BTR-4’s 30mm cannon is operated by remote control. A photoelectric camera system projects the outside image onto a screen inside the vehicle. All of the other aiming work is carried out by the computer, making the shooting reaction speed extremely fast.

This video comes just days after another Russian tank was blown up, as caught on Ukrainian cameras. The footage was taken from a Ukrainian armoured vehicle that came across its Russian foe in a village. Ukrainian forces catch sight of the Russian tank and open fire then drive on to the next block. Suddenly they see another Russian tank right in front of them and immediately open fire, blasting the turret off. Other rounds fired soon obliterate the tank which explodes in a hail of gunfire as Russian troops cower behind it.

Footage of the successful counterattack – the latest of several caught on film in a matter of days amid Putin’s crumbling invasion – shows a rocket make a direct hit. Posted online, the clip shows what appears to show one of the convoys being obliterated as Russian troops quickly scatter. At least one Russian tank and one armoured personnel carrier seem to have been hit by the missiles – which were fired from behind trees. The Russian tank can be seen being hit and exploding into flames in the aerial strike. Drones allegedly obliterated Russian tanks and missiles as Ukrainians are heard cheering in the background. In the footage, a Russian vehicle carrying what looks to be missiles, and a military tank are seen exploding into fireballs as Putin’s invasion continues to crumble.
