Moment Ukraine troops ‘burn down’ Russian Terminator tank with kamikaze attack

Intense video footage appears to show the moment a so-called Russian Terminator tank was destroyed by Ukraine ‘s special forces. ‘Military counter-intelligence officers of the SBU arranged a doomsday for the Russian ‘Terminator-2′ BMPT,’ Ukraine’s SBU posted on Telegram along with a video of the action. The Security Service added that a Russian T-80 tank attempted to tow the vehicle away but was also destroyed by special forces. The BMPT, dubbed the Terminator by its Russian manufacturers, is armed with four missile launchers, two autocannons and two grenade launchers. It supports tanks and other armour during combat operations. The video – shot from multiple angles including from what appears to be a first-person kamikaze drone – shows the vehicle get hit multiple times before Russian troops abandon the BMPT and flee on foot.

The deadly armoured fighting vehicles are meant to be used in urban combat where they can use powerful weaponry to protect infantry. It’s unclear how many of the vehicles Moscow is fielding but they are thought to be relatively rare compared to other types of Russian armor.
