Chilling footage shows the moment Ukrainian troops ambushed a line of Russian tanks — using a deadly combination of missiles, armored drones, landmines and machine gun fire to destroy the enemy.
Members of Ukraine’s 30th Mechanized Brigade were recently waiting near the village of Synkivka, about 5 miles northwest of the strategically important city of Kupyansk in Ukraine’s Kharkiv region, when two Russian main tanks and two armored personnel carriers drove straight into their car. trap.
Drone footage shared by Ukraine’s Defense Ministry on X earlier this month showed enemy vehicles passing through a mined kill zone littered with charred remains of Russian military equipment that had been used in at least half a dozen previous failed attacks in the area.

As the main Russian tank passed through the thicket of bare trees lining the road, it was hit by a Ukrainian anti-tank missile and exploded into a ball of fire, sending thick clouds of black smoke into the air.
The remaining Russian vehicles in the doomed bay tried to retreat, but the Ukrainians quickly halted their retreat by blowing up the rear armored personnel carriers with armed drones.
As smoke billowed from the disabled vehicle, Russian soldiers emerged from the interior and fled toward the tree line.

The two intact vehicles, left as sitting ducks in the exposed no-man’s land, desperately try to escape the ambush — but in their hasty flight they drive over landmines and burst into flames.
Ukraine then deployed cluster munitions at the destroyed column, causing Moscow soldiers to run for their lives. It is not clear from the video how many fighters were killed or injured.
“An ordinary day for Russian occupiers in Ukraine,” Ukraine’s Defense Ministry boasted in an X-note accompanying the footage, which was set to a witty Italian joke from a 1981 Soviet cartoon.

Tender open source intelligence channel explain what happened near Kupyansk as “absolute massacre.”
Russia is said to have deployed at least seven columns of tank and armored personnel carriers to try and capture the settlement of Synkivka between December 14 and December 28, each of which was systematically wiped out by Kyiv’s military, Forbes previously reported.
For Moscow, the goal is to get closer to the city of Kupyanks and consolidate its gains in Luhansk region, much of which is already under Moscow’s control — and grab more territory in Kharkiv region.

Russia has made incremental advances in some parts of the front line but has so far failed to penetrate Ukraine’s defenses.
Likewise, Kyiv’s army has struggled to liberate large enemy-held areas following a disappointing spring counteroffensive.
As a result, the conflict has largely been deadlocked throughout the winter. The question remains whether Ukraine will be able to fend off Russia if US Republicans in Congress continue to block a new military and financial aid package proposed by Democrats.
Russian units continued to attack sectors north of Kupyansk on Sunday but failed to advance, the Institute for Studies think tank reported in its latest update.
