Ukraine Weapons Tracker published a video this week depicting the destruction of a Russian BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicle near Donetsk Oblast.

According to the Twitter handle, this vehicle was taken out by Ukraine’s 72nd Mechanized Brigade.

Tank warfare has featured prominently in Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Main battle tanks have proven vital to Kyiv’s and Moscow’s war efforts by offering protection and firepower.

While Moscow previously claimed to possess some of the most capable and advanced armored vehicles on the planet, its fleet has not performed well in Ukraine.

Some analysts believe Russia might have lost half its modern tanks, including its T-72 MBTs. The country’s stockpile of T-80 tanks might be depleted by as much as two-thirds. Many of these Russian MBTs were destroyed by anti-tank weapons, while others were captured by Ukrainian forces or simply left behind by ill-equipped Russian soldiers.
