A video appears to show Ukrainian marines hitting several vehicles in a Russian armored column using US-made javelins, according to the brigade.
The video, shared on social media by the Ukrainian 36th Marine Brigade, intercuts drone footage of the attacks with clips of Ukrainian soldiers firing the man-portable anti-tank systems.
When guns hit, tanks and other armored vehicles explode and catch fire. A tank is seen returning fire before it is hit and immobilized, smoke billowing from it.
At one point in the video, three desperate Russian soldiers can be seen jumping out of a burning vehicle and running from it. Here the images:
Near the end of the video, one of the burning vehicles bursts, causing a massive explosion.
It is unclear when the video was filmed, however a Facebook post from the brigade said it was filmed in the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine.
However, a geolocation account on Twitter said that the video was filmed in the town of Vodyane.
Both the United States and NATO have sent Javelin missiles, along with other anti-tank weapons, to Ukraine following the invasion of Russia.
The United States has supplied 8,500 Javelin anti-tank missiles to Ukraine, according to a Forbes report from December 2022.
Ukraine has successfully used the weapons to attack Russian armored vehicles and vehicles, and some experts have estimated that Russia likely lost more than half of its operational tanks in Ukraine.
Nearly 10,000 Russian vehicles and other equipment have been documented destroyed, damaged or captured, according to Oryx, an open source intelligence analysis platform.
