A shocking video showing Russian tanks and armored vehicles being destroyed after being ambushed by Ukrainian marines has emerged.

The video shows five Russian tanks advancing through a devastated village in eastern Ukraine’s Donetsk region, where homes have been completely destroyed by heavy fighting. However, soldiers from the 36th Marine Separate Brigade were watching their advance from their bunkers and at the right moment fired a barrage of Javelin missiles destroying one tank after another.

In fact, the video shows three Russian soldiers jumping and walking away from the burning tank.

The Javelin missile has been an integral part of Ukraine’s arsenal since the start of the war, as it is able to effectively target Russian tanks by flying from a height and hitting the target from above.

The missile, part of a range of weapons sent to Ukraine by Western countries such as the US and the UK, is suitable for destroying tanks and armored personnel carriers.
