Dramatic new videos show Russian tanks being blown sky-high in Ukraine
2022-05-13
[NY Post] Dramatic new videos show a column of Russian tanks being picked out and blown up — while another explodes in a massive ball of flames, with debris blown sky-high in front of watching motorists.

Ukraine’s 54th Mechanized Brigade, based in the Donbas region, shared footage Tuesday of a platoon getting destroyed — setting the clip to upbeat, patriotic music.

The clip shows the line of tanks driven by invading troops — whom the unit termed "tourists" — driven along an unidentified road as smoke from repeated airstrikes fills the sky.

Several of the military vehicles then suffer direct hits, bursting into balls of flame — including one where debris exploded high into the sky.

The poor man's version of reactive armor. Remember to put them on the outside!

#1  The way the tanks are exploding one wonders if Moscow is using retired Ford Pinto engineers for design work.
