Footage reportedly shows a direct hit on a Russian T-80 tank by a Ukrainian FGM-148 Javelin missile resulting in catastrophic destruction.

The incoming munition can be seen briefly entering the upper right of the frame to perform its signature top down strike. Once hit, the tank spews giant smoke stream from its main gun, likely firing off a loaded round in the process. The incident reportedly took place in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk province.
