A video from the Ukraine war is currently going viral on social media.
It shows a Russian tank exploding after an attack by Ukrainian forces.
Kiev – The TikTok video is a good minute long.
In the clip, Ukrainian troops explode a Russian army tank with just a single shell.
The video shows the missile falling from the air into the open hatch of a Russian tank.
The next shot shows the military vehicle bursting into flames and smoke billowing out.
The clip shows the subsequent explosion of the tank from a greater distance.
The music that can be heard is likely to be familiar to users from Germany in particular.
The recordings are accompanied by the song "Engel" by the German band Rammstein.

Tank video from the Ukraine war not an isolated case
The TikTok user "13izy13dnepr13" published the video on his channel.
It has hits in the six-figure range.
He did not specify the exact location or what type of tank it was.
There are now several videos showing this attack or similar attacks from the Ukraine war.
The Ukrainian armed forces and the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense, among others, keep posting photos and clips of Russian tanks burning or exploding.
Apparently, the tactic of dropping grenades from drones from the air onto the military vehicles has proven to be particularly effective.
The video mentioned is also probably a drone attack, as the

A Year of Ukraine War: The Origins of the Conflict with Russia
Material shortage - Russia uses decades-old tanks
Not least because of the losses so far, Russia is struggling with a lack of material in the Ukraine war (news ticker on the Ukraine war).
According to the British Ministry of Defence, the Russian army is now increasingly using tank models that are several decades old.
Recently, even armored personnel carriers of the Soviet type BTR-50 from 1954 were used.
The situation appears to be similar with ammunition.
According to the British Ministry of Defence, Russia is now using projectiles that were actually classified as unusable.
The lack of ammunition and weapons is also almost certainly a major reason why there have been no significant offensives from the Russian side recently, according to the British Ministry of Defense in an update.
