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.

Ukrainian forces captured a Rooskie hypersonic missile last week. They are busy outfitting it with a 10 megaton nuke that is leftover from 1991. This package will soon be delivered to Vlad's hideaway in the Ural Mountains. Vlad's Führerbunker where he has been holed up for months. Your duplicitous, disgusting, depressed, degenerate, dipshit dictator has been phoning it in during his invasion.
The Russians apparently have no idea how to protect armored personnel carriers in a convoy.
More likely Russian conscripts are just labor for the personal involuntary labor of military officers and politicians.
Nothing good ever happens during convoy duty...
Daily Mail propaganda is always good for a laugh.
You soil yourself but the mindless trolls will love it.
That's right! I saw it on the NEWS.
It is 1 year max. By law they can only be sent to combat after the first 4 months of that.
So was this a remote controlled tank or what? Cars driving into crowds, guns shooting people, now a tank taking out Russkies. No credit/blame to the Human? Yes, I am being slightly sarcastic, but I have no sympathy for this Ukraine/NATO Wag the Dog script.
Irrational emotionalism with Warmongering to supplement the Covid Fearmongering, all when our own country is literally being invaded and plundered real time.
Not smart to make gay jabs at the Ukrainians considering the documented Russian propensity to rape other men in the military.
Not from a video game...turret from an exploded T-64BV which landed on the second floor of a nearby house.
Finland 1940 comes to mind. A much more limited conflict, Syria invades Jordan 1971. Bad choice
“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.”
Putin knows the cancer grim reaper is waiting at the door to take him to the hottest part of hell and so he had to rush his meglomaniac plans.
You’d know all about it, glowie.
Slava Ukraini!
All Part of Putin’s Plan©️. Forcing the Ukrainian forces to use up all their ammo on untrained conscripts before Pooty-Poot sends in the hardened reserve on a fleet of hypersonic missiles.
Stop with the negative waves, man.
Aside from the flowery narrative, it seems that the Russian convoy’s plan is just to push through this “ambush.”
That doesn’t seem very smart. Does no one “flank” any more?
While that tank in in a pretty good fighting position, it has to be rough on the women and children in the associated houses.
