Graphic footage shows a Russian tank driver exit his vehicle on a frantic sprint while he is fully engulfed in flames following a direct hit on his T-80 tank.

Drone footage shows the tank being engaged by artillery and then relocating. However, the vehicle is still being tracked, and the next hit is successful. The three-man crew bails from the tank, including the flaming driver. His crew mates attempt to extinguish him, and the level of his injuries cannot be determined from the video. The tank then catches fire and fire spews from inside the hull.
