It appears the clip is being filmed by a soldier who pops his head down under the hatch to reveal another member of the crew.

The tank speeds into battle with the footage ending with what appears to be dead Russian forces.

The images were obtained from the 25th Separate Airbone Sicheslav Brigade of the Ukrainian Air Assault Forces on Sunday, along with a statement saying: "The steel power of the legendary brigade!

"The indomitable warriors defiantly destroy the enemy in the Luhansk region!

"Their work is difficult and dangerous, but they believe in VICTORY and confidently step towards the goal!"

It comes as Ukraine's special forces reportedly hid deep inside Russian territory as another airfield was blasted by a suspected Ukrainian drone strike earlier today.

In another embarrassing blow to Vladimir Putin's invasion, footage emerged showing nuke bombers being blown up at the high-security Engels airbase in the Saratov region.

Another strike was reported in an airbase in Ryazan, the Russian Ministry of Defence said.

Ukraine has managed to successfully wipe out Russian forces in a series of targeted attacks on Putin's military infrastructure and civilian targets.

The Russian leader has faced a number of humiliating blows including losing key territory and recording a death toll of over 90,000.

The Kremlin has also reportedly lost at least 5,900 armoured protected vehicles (APVs), 2,900 tanks, and 281 planes.

Additionally, over 1,900 artillery systems have been wiped out, accounting for around a third of Russia's total stock.

While Russian morale appears to be at an all-time low, Ukraine has reclaimed important territories such as the key city of Kherson.
