Ukrainian Tank Destroys Russian BTR-82 At Very Close Range in Kursk
Video Summary
In this intense footage, a Russian BTR 82 is seen driving directly into the path of a Ukrainian tank, belonging to the 17th Tank Brigade. Initial observations suggest the first tank may be damaged, producing engine smoke. Both tanks are stationary, with their barrels moving slightly, indicating they are still occupied. The BTR 82 attempts to move around the tanks, but is destroyed at close range. The Russian anti-tank system would not have missed the target at such proximity.
The incident has sparked questions about the events leading up to the attack. The first tank may have been disabled or damaged by a drone, producing the smoke. Alternatively, the BTR 82’s commander might have mistakenly thought both tanks were Russian and driven past them, only to realize his mistake.
The Ukrainian unit that uploaded the footage claims it’s a Ukrainian tank, but it’s unclear if this is accurate, as tank markings are not visible. The possibility of friendly fire cannot be ruled out. The BTR 82’s turret has been blown back, indicating the damage was caused by kinetic energy, and not a specific weapon. The location has not been disclosed.
