Footage from fighting in the vicinity of Makiivka, Luhansk shows a Russian T-90 tank aggressively approaching Ukrainian Russian positions while under heavy fire. The tank driver keeps the vehicle in motion, rolling forward and back to mitigate the threat of AT projectiles while the gunner dishes out main gun fire.

The maneuvers only work for a short time, as the tank is suddenly struck by an ATGM. The projectile rips through the heavy tank with ease and can be seen skipping across the ground after making a complete pass through. A large explosion erupts from the tank as the onboard ammunition and fuel detonate all at once.
