This is the moment Ukrainian paratroopers cheer with joy as they target a Russian killer chopper on the screen is 'blown out of the sky with one clean shot from a homemade anti-tank guided missile system'.
The Russian Ka-52 'Alligator' attack helicopter was reportedly destroyed in the north-eastern Ukrainian province of Kharkiv Oblast on Tuesday.
Ingenious Ukrainian paratroopers of the 95th Air Assault Brigade - a unit of the Ukrainian Air Assault Forces - allegedly destroyed the enemy copter with the Stugna-P anti-tank missile weapon system.
The footage was shared by the Ukrainian Armed Forces with the message: "The 95th Brigade, with the 'Stugna' anti-aircraft missile system, destroyed the latest Russian Ka-52 attack helicopter! We have a victory."
The Ukrainian military included the hashtags 'Take a Stand' and 'Strong Together'.
Packing a wallop, the Stugna-P anti-tank guided missile system is wreaking havoc on Russian hardware during the invasion of Ukraine.
The anti-tank missile system, designed and manufactured in Ukraine, boasts a laser-guided system with long-range and high penetration capabilities.
The Stugna-P, also called the Skif, can reportedly penetrate armour as thick as 110 centimetres and reach distances of nearly six kilometres.
According to the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence, the footage shows the second case of paratroopers of the 95th Air Assault Brigade using anti-tank weapons to destroy an enemy air target.
