PEEKABOO: Ukrainian Troops Destroy Russian Tank Hiding In The Woods

This is the moment Ukrainian troops reportedly destroy a Russian tank hiding in the woods.

The attack was filmed in the easternmost Ukrainian region of Luhansk Oblast and the footage was shared by the National Guard of Ukraine and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine this morning (11th April).

The National Guard and Ministry of Internal Affairs included the same message: “The enemy crew wanted to get lost in the woods in the region of Luhansk. But you can’t hide from our eagle eyes and accurate shots.”

The video apparently shows a Russian tank smouldering in the thick woods following a Ukrainian strike.

Russia invaded their neighbours Ukraine on 24th February in what the Kremlin called a “special military operation” in the sovereign European country. Today marks the 47th day of the invasion.

From 24th February to 11th April, the total combat losses of Russian troops stand at 19,500 personnel, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
