Ukranian tank hits an advancing Russian BTR-82A at point blank range in the Kursk region.

🇬🇧 A battle took place a few hours ago: the russians were advancing with armored vehicles but encountered our tank, which wished the occupiers a "good" night. The survivors have replenished the exchange fund>
The positions from which they launched their offensive were counterattacked by assault groups of the 225th Separate Assault Battalion and are now under our control. We continue our work; stay tuned for updates.

Driving straight into a MBT is certainly one of the strategies of all time
- Then when you survive, you go round the corner of your wrecked vehicle to check, as if needing to confirm that "yup, thats a tank".
  Also goddamn that one guy running straigh across, past the front of the tanks, towards the treeline.
  
  The whole crew must have been caught off guard, surprised no one swept him with an aux. This is some WWII shit with modern hardware.
- Charge of the ~~Light~~ Vatnik Brigade

You weren't lying when you said point blank. That cannot have been more than 10 meters away.

This is actually ridiculous. I bet the tank operators were so confused haha
- Gunner - "Are you sure those aren't our guys!?"
  Commander - "Yes, fire!"

My God I can't imagine how that blast must've felt on the body.

Were they trying to forfeit? I really don't understand the logic of driving almost straight at an enemy tank and showing your broad side.
- Fog of war, misidentification and disorientation.
  
  The brr crew must have thought these were friendlies.. noone would knowingly drive at enemy armor like this...

GUNNER, HEAT, PC!
TRAVERSE LEFT!
_UP!
FIRE!
- In Ukrainian.
  We need a video of this, it's very meme-able.
  
  There’s a relatively recent game (GHPC) with absolutely bonkers voiceovers. It really jacks up the immersion.

Looks very much like the tank (and its friend) had taken a hit and was being checked out by infantry; great way to test the expendability of russian infantry.
