  • A video appears to show Ukrainian marines firing at Russian tanks with US-made Javelin missiles.

  • The video shows tanks exploding and Russian soldiers jumping out of a burning vehicle.

  • Both the US and NATO have sent Javelins to Ukraine following Russia's invasion.

A video appears to show Ukrainian marines striking multiple vehicles in a Russian armored column using US-made Javelins, according to the brigade.

The video, shared on social media by Ukraine's 36th Marine Brigade, intersperses drone footage of the strikes with clips of Ukrainian soldiers firing the portable anti-tank systems.

 

As the weapons strike, tanks and other armored vehicles explode and catch fire. One tank is seen returning fire before it is struck 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 away from it.
