Footage captured by a Ukrainian military drone shows a Ukrainian tank carrying out an ambush on a Russian column as it moved through Nova Basan, east of Kyiv, which was recaptured by Ukrainian forces on April 1.
Much of the battle to retake the town took place on March 31 and involved members of the Dmytro Korchynsky Brotherhood Battalion, or the Bratstvo (Brotherhood) Battalion, which released this footage on Wednesday with Russian and Ukrainian flag images added over the vehicles. At least eight vehicles are marked Russian and just one is marked Ukrainian.
Following the attack, images of damaged and burned-out Russian vehicles littering the town were posted online by residents, photographers travelling with the Bratstvo Battalion, and by Ukrainian reporters who visited Nova Basan after the Russian withdrawal.
The Bratstvo Battalion was formed on February 24 by Dmytro Korchynsky, a fringe political figure and writer based in Kyiv. His Bratstvo political party has been described as an ultranationalist Orthodox Christian organization, according to a profile published by The Intercept in 2015. In a video announcing the formation of the battalion, Korchynsky said it was accepting recruits “to participate in the defense of Ukraine.”
Travelling with Bratstvo Battalion was Oleksiy Seredyuk, an activist running Korchynsky’s online media arm, World Bratstvo TV, and who was documenting the battalion’s activities.
On March 31, Seredyuk posted a video of troops being welcomed by residents of Nova Basan as they entered the town on foot. Walking alongside Seredyuk in that video, and several others he has posted on social media during the conflict, was Vita Zavirukha, an ultranationalist female soldier known in Ukraine for her high-profile involvement in neo-Nazi groups.
Zavirukha gained notoriety in 2016 she was tried for involvement in the killing of three police officers.

Here is a time-line of the tank shots. He actually did limited damage because his sight-lines were obstructed by structures. 0:07 hits long - see hit upper screen. 0:14 actually hit short into the ground but the shot must have skipped into the rear end of the APC which halts and catches fire. 0:48 shoots again, and hits the wall of the small structure 10 meters to his left. You can see the wall fall down. Russian APC's are firing wildly not knowing where the Ukrainian tank is. Some Russian soldiers must have dismounted. 0:54 Russian soldier on the road fires an anti-tank missile, but he hits the building to the left of the Ukrainian tank. Rest of the video is of Ukrainian artillery strikes on this convoy. So, not exactly a Michael Wittmann moment at Villers-Bocage, Normandy, but seeing how this lone Ukrainian tank apparently has no infantry support it is a courageous ambush.

Ukrainian Fighters You Are Heroic and Brave we are Proud of You Keep on Fighting for Your Freedom Stand Tall!!!

The Ukrainian tank commander 21-year old Nazar Vernigora and all the tank crew lived to tell the story. Nazar Vernigora was a cadet at the Ukrainian military academy when the war started. He has now been promoted to lieutenant and commander of a tank company.

One tank against so many, that's crazy or bravery but since we talk about Ukrainians it's crazy bravery.
-
It takes too much courage to attack just by himself alone, they got balls, congrats...
-
This video marks the first in military history were we get to witness first hand a planned ambush in such amazing detail. Absolutely stunning.
-
That is one very brave Ukrainian Tank Crew - RESPECT😎
-
If you are fighting for your Country and Family, the bravery and dedication to defeat the enemy is 100x better than usual
-
Man, when you are sure of what you're fighting for then one is enough to wreak havoc among several!! Such bravery is the stuffs of legends!
-
Thank you for putting the flags I really appreciate it. That’s a detail thats not appreciated enough

While this title was a bit misleading, there is some seriously genius positioning from these tankers. The spot he picked was perfect. Just out of line of sight with a perfect vantage point to catch them as they approach, with a second building just as they pass. Basically like a little tank spyhole. Plus covered by two buildings on the side of the approaching convoy so even if they did work out where he is, there is at least some (not much but SOME) buffer to shave off a little bit of that kinetic energy from incoming fire.

I was a US Army anti-tanker during Desert Storm. Not only does it take big balls to do this solo you have to have a really good idea of what you're doing to get away with this.

“Destroys massive convoy” is a bit of a stretch don’t you think? But one has to give a massive thanks to the Ukrainian tank crew’s bravery taking on the whole lot by themselves!!!!
-
It's been said a lot but, the footage of this war is absolutely incredible. Looks like a hyper realistic RTS game. Insane
-
The Ukraine Soldiers fights like Lions! Proudly! Fearless! Brave!
-
The armoured vehicles that passed: "None of my buisness anymore what happens back there. Got to bring loot home to Natasha."
-
Love the typical warning " some viewers might find scenes distressing " lol Nothing distressing about seeing invaders get a taste of their own medicine.... Well done 🇺🇦🇬🇧
-
Funniest part is the infantry that could’ve destroyed that hiding tank just keep on trucking and let him bang away
-
World of tanks looks amazing 👌💯
