Russian tank blown to pieces burns as Ukrainian paratroopers watch on

A RUSSIAN tank blown to pieces burns as Ukrainian paratroopers watch on in victory.

The footage shows the tank burning some distance away from the person filming after apparently being hit by Ukrainian weaponry, with the camera then panning to the right and showing what appears to be its still-smoking access hatch lying in the forest.

A Ukrainian soldier gives the camera a thumbs up as the footage ends.

The images were obtained from the 25th Airborne Brigade - also known as the 25th Separate Airborne Sicheslav Brigade - of the Ukrainian Air Assault Forces, on the morning of Tuesday, 12th July.
