Drone video of a Ukrainian ambush against Russian armor released by the 59th Motorized Brigade shows the destruction of at least two Russian tanks by anti-tank guided missile systems.

According to the 59th Motorized Brigade, this attack was carried out with Javelin anti-tank guided missiles. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the FGM-148 system, it's a man-portable fire-and-forget weapon system that's fired from the shoulder. If we're being super technical, it's an AAWS-M or Advanced Anti-Tank Weapon System-Medium and not an "anti-tank guided missile," but at that point we're really splitting hairs.

Regardless of what you want to call the system, the effects it is having on the battlefield in Ukraine are clearly apparent. From this video, it's obvious that there isn't much that Russian armor can do to defend against it, especially when that Russian armor looks like it was rolled in from the Second World War.
