Russian military vehicles destroyed by Ukrainian Howitzer

This aerial footage shows how this Russian armoured personnel carrier has no chance as it is blasted apart by Ukrainian artillery.

Several strikes can be seen landing on and around the APC, which appears to be hiding among residential homes and eventually catches fire.

Newsflash obtained the footage from the 30th Independent Mechanised Brigade - a formation of the Ukrainian Ground Forces - yesterday (Sunday, 1st May).

The brigade said the shots came from a 2S1 Gvozdika - a Soviet self-propelled howitzer that has been in service since 1972.

The 2S1 Gvozdika is operated by several countries, including both Russia and Ukraine.

It is not clear where in Ukraine the strikes took place.

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) reported earlier today that Russia had lost around 23,800 troops over the course of the invasion thus far.
