Ukrainians take Russian TANK for joyride & burn £11m missile launcher as resistance holds strong

GLEEFUL Ukrainians have taken a Russian tank for a joyride while farmers burnt an £11million missile launcher as resistance to Vladimir Putin's troops continues to hold strong.

The victorious villagers from the besieged city of Kharkiv flaunted their latest find and vowed to use it against their Russian aggressors.

In a 24-second clip posted online, one man shouts "We did it!" and "Glory to Ukraine!" as he and his local resistance pals move through a snowy field on a Russian tank.

Meanwhile, footage has surfaced of an enemy missile launcher up in flames.

The £11million piece of military kit - which is painted with the Russian Z symbol - was set alight by farmers in an open field in a moment of defiance.

The brave man who captured the vehicle said the Russian soldiers fled like "rats".
