A Russian armored assault took multiple losses as the unit attempted to cross an open area. The first tank appears to hit a buried AT mine, and the second vehicle receives a top-down strike from a Javelin missile.

For a brief moment the camera pans out showing other explosions in the distance, indicating the assault shown in this video is likely a smaller part of a larger operation.
