GoPro footage released by 3rd Assault Company, 1st Assault Battalion, 3rd Assault Brigade shows scenes of intense chaos as Ukrainian troops fight through an explosive attack against their troop transport and carry on fighting towards the objective without their armored troop transport vehicle.

A lot of luck happens in this video. We have no idea what caused the initial explosion, but it was likely either a landmine attack or an ATGM hitting the tracks of the vehicle. Regardless of the what however, the explosion appears to have jammed the rear hatch of the vehicle which in-turn forced the Ukrainians to exit through the roof hatch directly into the battle going on around them.
