A Russian tank, with an accurate head-on shot, destroyed an American armored jeep that was trying to break into Balakleya.

Attempts by the Ukrainian military from the first attempt to break into Balakliya ended with serious losses for the consolidated group of foreign mercenaries and Ukrainian military personnel. As it turned out, during an attempt by an American HMMWV armored car to break into Balakleya, the latter was literally cut into two parts by the most accurate hit by Russian tankers.

Despite the declared high combat characteristics of this American equipment, American armored vehicles, for obvious reasons, could not oppose the Russian tank defending the approaches to Balakleya. In the presented pictures you can see the consequences of a direct hit on an American HMWWV armored car by a tank shell. Judging by the damage received by the armored car, the shell hit right under the hood of the combat vehicle, in which there were four servicemen. The hit turned out to be so serious that the armored car with the Ukrainian military and foreign mercenaries was literally cut into two parts.

Apparently, we are talking about one of the first attempts by Ukrainian troops to break into Balakliya, which was successfully suppressed by the Russian military.
