This is the moment Ukrainian soldiers reportedly fire British-made Javelin missiles at a Russian target and appear to blow it sky-high.
Footage obtained from the Ukrainian Ground Forces on the morning of 4th April.
The Ukrainian military said the attack was carried out by members of the 5th Reserve Battalion of the 28th Regiment, known as the 'Knights of the Winter Campaign', using British-made Javelin surface-to-air-missiles.
The defending army shared the video with a message to their countrymen saying: "Good morning Ukraine! During the night, the 5th Reserve Battalion of the 28th Regiment, named after the Knights of the Winter Campaign, did a glorious job."
The military added: "That's how the Javelin hits. Glory to Ukraine!"
In the footage, apparently filmed in the early hours of this morning, a glowing Javelin missile is seen speeding through the air at a low altitude before seemingly hitting the target, sparking a huge explosion.
The Ukrainian Ground Forces did not say where the strike took place.
The footage comes just over a week after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is "helping more" than other leaders in the resistance against Russia.
