INCREDIBLE drone footage shows one Ukrainian tank taking on an entire Russian column, leading to several vehicles being destroyed.

The T-64 tank can be seen lurking beside a house, waiting to ambush Vladimir Putin’s forces coming along the road about 50 yards in front of it.

As the Russians roll by, the Ukrainian tank opens fire at the middle of three BTR-82 armoured personnel carriers, each carrying up to 10 troops.

The first shot misses with the shell exploding on a hill bit a subsequent shot hits one of the BTR-82s, which can be seen in a fire ball on the road.

Meanwhile the Russians begin firing back wildly at where they think the tank is hiding but none of their shots hit the tank as they steer around the flaming wreck.

Russian soldiers soon begin pouring from the vehicles and fan out to seek cover.

The battle continues as the Russians finally locate the Ukrainian tank and begin firing at it, though none of the rounds find their target.

The video was shared by researchers Ukraine Weapons Tracker, who say that the tank's attack managed to hold up the convoy allowing more Ukrainian fire to take out more vehicles.

The Ukrainian tank is reported to be from the Dmytro Korchynsky Brotherhood Battalion, which ambushed Russians retreating east after failing to take Kyiv.

At the end of the video a large plume of smoke can be seen rising into the air from the Russian vehicles.

Dead Russian soldiers can be seen on the ground next to one burning BTR-82 as the column hastily flees.

Whether the Ukrainian tank managed to escape after the battle is unknown.

The war in Ukraine has seen a steady stream of footage showing Russian tanks being hit by anti-tank weapons supplied by Britain and American.

Russian forces have lost thousands of vehicles in the war in Ukraine including hundreds of tanks and over 1800 other armoured vehicles.

Many of their burnt-out shells now litter the landscape after being blasted by Kyiv’s forces.

But ingenious Ukrainian mechanics have also been at work repairing ones that can be salvaged to use against Russian troops.

President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia has become one of the main suppliers of arms to their enemy.

Western supplied missiles are not just taking their toll on Russian tanks but the helicopters are also being taken down.
