THIS is the dramatic moment Ukraine's "Achilles" troops wiped out a whopping 80 per cent of Putin's armour in another major war blow to Russia.

Incredible footage shows a series of flawless attacks on multiple tankers as the drone storm stopped the vast Russian blitz in Pischany district, Lviv Oblast region.

Ukraine’s “Achilles” troops are specialised drone warfare units within the 92nd Separate Mechanized Brigade, playing a pivotal role in Ukraine’s ongoing defence against Russian forces.

These troops have gained recognition for their expertise in using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in combat, particularly in repelling Russian assaults and destroying enemy equipment.

The battalion operates highly effective UAVs, such as the "Vampire" drones, which have been instrumental in targeting Russian positions and equipment, particularly in nighttime operations.

On Thursday, the "Achilles" battalion successfully repelled a Russian mechanised assault.

The Russian force, consisting of around 50 armoured vehicles, attempted to advance toward Kolesnikivka and Kruglyakivka, but Ukrainian forces decisively countered the attack.

A clip shared on Telegram and X, formerly Twitter, showed the Russian tankers advancing into the battlefield, before they are hit with pinpoint precision.

Huge fireballs and flames engulfed Putin's military vehicles, now reduced to ashes thanks to the prowess of Ukrainian forces.

The "Achilles battalion" reportedly managed to destroy or damage 40 units of Russian military equipment, the social media posts said.

Out of these, 14 units were completely destroyed, including five BMPs (infantry fighting vehicles), three tanks, one armoured personnel carrier, one MTLB (light multi-purpose armoured vehicle), two Ural trucks, one "Loaf" vehicle, and an ATV.

Some 26 Russian units were reportedly damaged, including 10 tanks, 10 BMPs, one BREM (armored recovery vehicle), three MTLBs and one Ural truck.

It comes after Ukrainian troops took on Putin's soldiers in a frontline town in true Call of Duty style.

Incredible footage showed the relentless battle on the streets of Toretsk, in the war-torn Donetsk region.

The two-minute video shared on X shows Ukrainian units of the Lyut Assault Brigade at work as they wipe out enemy troops.

Just like in video games, a red frame would flash at every moment one of Mad Vlad's men - who would have a Russian flag indicating their position - was hit.

A pair of dark wings would then be added to the flag once the enemy was wiped out.

The action-packed clip begins with Kyiv's brave men heading to the battleground in a truck before they unload the vehicle and head off to fight.

A series of POV scenes unfolds showing the flawless battle tactics on the ravaged streets of Toretsk as blasts can be seen and heard in the background.

Located close to the frontlines of the war in eastern Ukraine, Toretsk has been heavily affected by the war.

The town has experienced frequent shelling, damage to infrastructure, and significant civilian casualties due to its proximity to the conflict. 

The dramatic clash came after apocalyptic explosions tore apart two massive Russian missile and ammunition storage depots in the early hours of Saturday.
