Russia has said that it has destroyed Ukrainian military positions on the right bank of the Dnipro River using a T-90M tank.
The footage purports to show the Russian tank being loaded with ordnance before it manoeuvres into position in a forested area, moving along a dirt track, with the images showing it then opening fire.
The video cuts to a number of explosions, reportedly the Ukrainian positions being hit.
The images were obtained from the Russian Ministry of Defence (MoD) on Thursday, 25th April, along with a statement claiming: “Russian Airborne Troops’ T-90M tank crews eliminate AFU servicemen by indirect fire on right bank of Dnepr River.
“UAV crews detected AFU infantry group attempting to take refuge in destroyed buildings. It was decided to eliminate the target with the latest T-90M Proryv tanks.
“The tank crew, using the terrain folds, quickly arrived at the closed firing position and fired precise shots at the given coordinates, destroying the hiding troops of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.” (sic)
We have not been able to independently verify the claims or the footage.
