Incredible footage has shown an American-supplied Ukrainian Bradley fighting vehicle engaging in a furious jousting match with one of its Russian counterparts.
The Russian BTR-82 armoured personnel carrier came off second best during the face-off, which happened on the main road in the village of Sokil.
Both vehicles can be seen charging towards one another before the Russian vehicle is left knocked out at the side of the road.

The M2A2 Bradley, belonging to the Ukrainian army’s 47th Mechanised Brigade, opened fire on the Russian BTR-82 using its 25mm Bushmaster chain gun.
The BTR-82, meanwhile, opened fire on the Bradley with its 30mm autocannon, knocking out the Bradley’s optics and effectively disabling its gun.
Despite the setback, the Ukrainian vehicle continued to charge towards its Russian opponent, coming to within a few metres of each other.
At the last second, the BTR swerved to avoid a collision, with the Bradley commander apparently having told the driver to ram the enemy vehicle.
Having sustained heavy damage, the smoking Russian BTR-82 continued down the road with a Russian soldier either falling or jumping from the vehicle.
The vehicle then veered off the road and came to a halt in between two buildings, having lost the fight against the Ukrainian vehicle and ending up with smoke pouring out of it.
This is not the first time the M2 has proved its effectiveness on camera, with two Bradleys filmed overpowering a Russian T-90 tank earlier this year.
