Brutal Attack: Ukrainian BTR-4 Fighting Against Russian T-72B3M and BRM-1K Armored VehiclesRussia’s invasion of Ukraine has revealed thousands of images and videos of armored vehicles getting ambushed, destroyed, and abandoned. However, there has been relatively lack of images showing the combat operation of fighting vehicles. One notable exception is a recording posted on March 14, taking the scene inside a Ukrainian eight-wheeled BTR-4E infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) skittering frenetically in the streets of Mariupol, a besieged coastal port surrounded by Russian forces. The recording shows the video feed from the BM-7 Parus “Sail” weapons turret on top of the vehicle, and the gunner remotely controlling the turret that is faintly reflected on the monitor.Being first to spot and shoot is the best predictor of victory in an armored battle. That’s exactly what happened before the BMP crew can react, the Ukrainian gunner rotates the turret and pummels the vehicle with cannon fire, causing glowing metal fragments to spray in the air and equipment to fly off. After overcorrecting the aim downwards, a shot finally slams through the vehicle’s front hull, causing it to erupt in flames. The BTR-4 then rolls back out of the line of fire.
