Footage shows a lone Ukrainian tank ambushing Russian vehicles in Nova Basan The T-64 was able to fire several rounds at the invaders, destroying two vehicles
It concealed itself behind a house and thread its shells between other buildings Kyiv claimed close to 20,000 Russian troops have now been killed since Feb. 24
Incredible video footage has emerged of what appears to be a lone Ukrainian tank destroying several Russian armoured vehicles less than 50 miles from Kyiv.
The footage, collected by a drone and published by a Ukrainian volunteer unit on Telegram, shows what appears to be a single well-positioned Ukrainian T-64 tank ambushing a convoy of Russian BTR-82A armoured vehicles on a road in Nova Basan, west of the capital.
Thanks to brilliant positioning, the tank was able to fire several rounds at the invaders' convoy, threading the gap between other structures from a concealed location behind a house.
One BTR was quickly set ablaze in the attack, prompting the remaining armoured vehicles to fire back, seemingly aiming at other targets off-camera as yellow flashes of fire were seen streaking across the fields surrounding the road.
But the T-64 appeared unsighted and continued to pound the convoy with shells as it outsmarted the Russian troops until further artillery reinforcements arrived.
The second half of the video cuts to later footage of Ukrainian artillery strikes raining down on the convoy as it attempts to flee, before zooming in on the wreckage of a Russian tank still on fire alongside several corpses.

Fantastic drone footage has emerged showing the remarkable courage and tactics of a single Ukrainian tank, which successfully ambushed a whole column of Russian armoured vehicles
The convoy fired rounds into nearby buildings and also directed fire across neighbouring fields, seemingly at targets off camera, but the lone Ukrainian tank remained hidden as it continued to pound the invaders with shells, ultimately destroying two vehicles
Military historian Frederick Kagan says he knows of no parallel to a major military power like Russia invading a country at the time of its choosing and failing so utterly.

What video game is it from?
He was shooting between buildings so they couldn’t tell where the fire was coming from......................
Exactly.
Russia surely bit off more than it could chew - Ukrainian forces will be on the steps of Moscow by weekend.
You are lowering what FR thinks your IQ is by agreeing with him that this is CGI/Graphics.
Stop now before it dips below 75.
“What video game is it from?”
Looks like Pokemon and the Ukrainian tanker is trying to collect them all! LOL!!!
Russian soldiers must feel absolute terror each time one of their convoys approaches an urban area.
Most times far fewer of them leave then entered.
The drone taking the video also functions as an excellent artillery spotter.
Home court advantage coupled with real time drone and satellite intel is powerful advantage.
Russian are pretty stupid?
It’s amazing how they’ve completely forgotten the “combined arms” lessons of WWII.
The stupidity of the Russian troops is amazing. They are un-trained I’ll equipped and it’s obvious that their generals and colonels and higher up military leaders have had to go to the front because the soldiers beneath them don’t know what to do.
This is really sad
Right? No way this is real
I heard a retired American General a few weeks ago on one of the Fox News shows state that Russian military conscripts are only required to serve one year of active duty.
I was surprised to hear this since by the time you go through basic training, and then advanced training where you become proficient, your time in the service is just about up.
My people….
Stand tall, Ukies…
C’mon..Russians are great at killing/raping women and children. Cheer up!
