Dramatic footage posted on social media on Thursday showed a small Russian convoy underwent a precision attack, killing Moscow commanders. Six people are claimed dead.
A video posted onsocial media by Ukrainian officer Anatoly Stefan Starlitzshows an overhead view of his two pickup trucks speeding along a country road.
As the truck reaches his 90-degree turn, solitary missiles enter in succession from off-screen, causing massive explosions in the leading vehicle. It's clearly damaged and out of control, rammed into a nearby field.
A second truck passes the area a few seconds later and navigates the turn, but loses control and rolls into a ditch.
Stirlitz wrote that the truck contained a Russian "commander on his way back from a conference."
"And at this time our glorious Cossacks await them. He added a reference to the historically autonomous Ukrainian frontiersmen, who served occasionally as cavalrymen in the pre-Soviet imperial Russian army. It mocked Moscow's stated reasons for the aggression when announcing the deaths, adding that "six commanders and five soldiers have been officially de-Nazis and demilitarized."
Russia claims its gratuitous attack on Ukraine is to "de-Naz" the country and disband its military.
The video has little information to identify the vehicle or when and where the strike took place.
Stirlitz mentions in his Telegram post the 56th Motorized Brigade — a force operating around Donbass and Mariupol.
