This is the insane moment one of Russia’s $500million T-72 tanks are blown to pieces by in a massive explosion that sent its turret flying 100ft into the sky.
The latest blow for Vladimir Putin occurred after the expensive weaponry came under fire from a Ukrainian kamikaze drone in the key war battleground of Bakhmut.
The video shows the drone zeroing in on the enemy tank that had been firing at Ukrainian soldiers.
Suddenly, it slams into the costly T-72 tank and the clip turns grey and pixelated following the monumental collision.
The video then cuts to an aerial view where huge clouds of smoke are seen emanating from the massive fireball, with the turret launched some 100ft above the battlefield.

The Russian Foreign Minister made the shocking comments during his annual news briefing in Moscow, which saw him launch several warnings against the West.
Lavrov said: “They have proclaimed us openly an enemy but at the same time they want to have a look at our strategic nuclear stockpiles because they say it’s quite a different thing.
“Under the slogan of reciprocity they want to ensure oversight over our nuclear arsenals to minimise risks for themselves and these risks are mounting as a result of the military pressure and compulsion exercised against our country.”
