Ukrainian Armored Vehicle Blown Up by Anti-Tank Mine Placed by Friendly Troops: Video

While Ukrainian forces sustain serious losses in military personnel and hardware, at least some of these are caused by the apparent incompetence of Kiev's soldiers, with the following video showcasing one such instance.

The Russian UAV-recorded video from Donbass shows a Ukrainian BMP infantry fighting vehicle being destroyed by an anti-tank mine. The irony of the situation is that the mine was placed there by Ukrainian troops!

In the video, a lone man can be seen running away from the armored vehicle’s wreck after the explosion. According to the UAV operator, that was the BMP’s driver who fled for his life without bothering to check on his comrades in the troop compartment.

As Russian soldiers operating in Donbass explained to Sputnik, the so-called Ukrainian territorial defense units are comprised of poorly trained draftees who often don’t bother marking on maps the mines they lay, thus making situations like the one seen in the video occur occur.
