As the Russians roll by, the Ukrainian tank opens fire at the middle of three BTR-82 armoured personnel carriers, each carrying up to 10 troops.
The first shot misses with the shell exploding on a hill bit a subsequent shot hits one of the BTR-82s, which can be seen in a fire ball on the road.
Meanwhile the Russians begin firing back wildly at where they think the tank is hiding but none of their shots hit the tank as they steer around the flaming wreck.
Russian soldiers soon begin pouring from the vehicles and fan out to see cover.
The battle continues as the Russians finally locate the Ukrainian tank and begin firing at it, though none of the rounds find their target.
The video was shared by researchers Ukraine Weapons Tracker, who say that the tank’s attack managed to hold up the convoy allowing other Ukrainian fire to take out more vehicles.
It comes as…
The Ukrainian tank is reported to be from the Dmytro Korchynsky Brotherhood Battalion, which ambushed Russians retreating east after failing to take Kyiv.
At the end of the video a large plume of smoke can be seen rising into the air from the Russian vehicles.
Dead Russian soldiers can be seen on the ground next to one burning BTR-82 as the column hastily flees.
