Ukraine says that its forces decimated enemy armor columns, as Russia pressed an attack to capture Avdiivka, a small city in the east of the country.

Ukraine claimed that its forces destroyed nearly 50 Russian tanks in one day, as Russia tried to capture Avdiivka, a small city in the east of the country.

The Ukrainian General Staff said that in one day of fighting, nearly 900 Russians were killed and 100 units of their armored equipment were also destroyed.

A video shared by Ukraine’s military on Friday appeared to show Russian tanks and armor being destroyed as they headed towards the eastern Ukrainian city.

    I bet it depends a lot on the situation and what real time information they’re able to gather about targets that were hit. Obviously dropping a grande in to the hatch of an abandoned tank should just count as a tank loss but if a tank is rolling along in a offensive with 8 people riding on top you can hit the tank hard and it instantly cools off. Well then you can assume that the 3 crew died and most of not all of the troops on top.
