These images show Ukrainian self-propelled howitzers and drones taking out Russian armoured vehicles on the frontlines.
The video shows a number of Russian war machines being destroyed by Ukrainian ordnance.
The images were obtained from the 3rd Separate Tank Iron Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Tuesday, 21st November, along with a statement saying: “Self-propelled howitzers and drones of the Iron Brigade have long become a hellish tandem for the enemy.
“The next episodes begin with the destruction of the enemy cannon by our ‘Carnations’. Such a fat target was recently found by soldiers of the control and artillery reconnaissance battery.
“Moreover, this unit not only corrects the artillery, but also crushes the invaders with its own forces. Combat ‘maviks’ drop cumulative charges (for equipment), grenades and other explosives on the heads of the soldiers.
“Burn the invaders!”
The images were also relayed by the ground forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine along with a statement saying it shows “the 3rd Separate Tank Iron Brigade operating drones”.
Russia invaded Ukraine on 24th February 2022 in what the Kremlin is still calling a “special military operation”. Today marks the 636th day of the full-scale war.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that between 24th February 2022 and 21st November 2023, Russia had lost about 319,610 personnel, 5,439 tanks, 10,174 armoured combat vehicles, 7,752 artillery units, 899 multiple launch rocket systems, 588 air defence systems, 323 warplanes, 324 helicopters, 5,771 drones, 1,564 cruise missiles, 22 warships, 1 submarine, 10,134 motor vehicles and fuel tankers, and 1,098 units of special equipment.
Russia has claimed that its casualties have been much lower but provides infrequent updates on its latest figures.
US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin has announced the Pentagon will send Ukraine an additional USD 100 million in weapons from existing US stockpiles, including artillery and air defence munitions.
He made the announcement during an unannounced visit to Kyiv where he met the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Defence Minister Rustem Umerov and Chief of Staff General Valerii Zaluzhnyi.
Austin said that Ukraine’s effort to defeat the invading Russian forces “matters to the rest of the world”, adding that American support would continue “for the long haul”.
Ukrainian forces were battling to contain escalating Russian attacks on Monday around the eastern Ukrainian town of Bakhmut.
Volodymyr Fityo, a spokesperson for the Ukrainian Ground Forces, said Russian troops were focusing their attacks on Klishchiivka, a nearby village that was retaken by Ukrainian forces in September.
Russia has placed Ukrainian singer Susana Jamaladinova, known as Jamala, who won the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest, on its wanted list.
