An insanely brutal compilation video shows devastating losses among Russian armor units as they haphazardly throw tanks and IFVs at well-fortified Ukrainian positions resulting in repeated catastrophe during their offensive to take Avdiivka, north of Donetsk city.

From the drone's-eye-view it is easy for the viewer to see the strips of Ukrainian anti tank mines glinting in the sun, but they are almost invisible to the buttoned-up tank crews. Anti tank guided missiles (ATGM) are likely responsible for the knocked out vehicles following the mine rollers.

Some of these clips we have blogged previously, and others are newly released.
