[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A lone Ukrainian soldier took out five Russian tanks in a day using US-provided Javelin missiles, Ukraine's Ministry of Defence said.
The decisive encounter occurred during a Russian attack on Ukraine's 79th Air Assault Brigade near the town of Maryinka, in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk region.
The Ukrainian paratrooper managed to take out five tanks and three infantry fighting vehicles with the help of US anti-tank Javelin missiles, the brigade said.
Video shows the missiles striking the Russian tanks, which explode and erupt into flames.
The US has armed Ukraine with some 8,500 Javelin missiles since the outbreak of the Russian invasion last February. |
