This is the moment Ukrainian-made, laser-guided anti-tank missile systems destroy Russian war machines as their operators cheer and a Russian soldier flees having narrowly avoided being blown up.
Newsflash obtained the footage from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine along with a statement that said that the weapon systems used were PTRK 'Stugna-P' anti-tank missile systems.
The Stugna-P is a second-generation, Ukrainian laser-guided anti-tank missile system that was developed by the by the Kyiv design bureau Luch. They typically fire 130-millimetre calibre missiles and can be operated by remote control from a distance of up to 50 metres.
The footage shows what the anti-tank missile system operators can see through a screen, with them firing slightly off-target at first, before they point their crosshairs at the intended recipient of the missile, guiding it with their laser system until it hits its target.
The footage shows two incidents. The first part of the footage shows a missile successfully hitting its target as Ukrainian operators of the war machine cheer.
The second piece of footage shows a second missile hitting its target, with the operators having aimed high before directing the missile with a laser guidance system. A lone enemy soldier appears to run away after the unidentified Russian war machine is hit.
The Ukrainian General Staff said that "the Russian occupiers will not hide anywhere", adding that the "masters of their craft 'work' with long distances".
They signed off with the now famous slogan "Slava Ukraini!", which can loosely be translated into English as "Glory to Ukraine!"
An unnamed American official at the Pentagon reportedly said a few days ago that the Russian invasion "remains stalled", in large part due to the staunch resistance with which the Kremlin's soldiers have been met.
In the early days of the conflict, which started when Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine on 24th February, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy famously replied to a United States offer to evacuate him by saying: "I need ammunition, not a ride!"
And while financial and military aid to Ukraine has been forthcoming from Western countries and other countries around the world, it does appear that Ukrainian-made weaponry is rather effective as well.
