Dramatic footage has emerged showing the moment a Russian tank was obliterated by Ukrainian soldiers.
Video shows Ukrainian troops firing a series of shots at the armoured vehicle, which is marked with the notorious 'Z' sign, in the port city of Mariupol, leaving the Russian soldiers cowering behind it.
The footage was filmed inside an armoured personnel carrier, where Ukrainian troops from the Azov Battalion unit could be seen looking at a video screen showing their targets going up in flames.

The troops were patrolling the streets of Mariupol when they came into contact with the Russian tank.
The Ukrainian soldiers inside the military vehicle, which is equipped with a 30mm automatic cannon, a machine gun and anti-tank missiles, opened fire at the Russian armoured vehicle in the street.
The Ukrainian troops quickly drove along another street, behind houses, before they came into contact with another Russian tank, which was marked with a 'Z' sign.
The soldiers were able to obliterate the tank, which exploded as Putin's troops cowered behind it, using a remote-controlled gun turret.
The footage was posted by the Ukrainian National Guard's Azov Unit on Monday with the caption: 'Z - means destroyed'.

The invading Russian troops have for days been bombing Mariupol and other cities across Ukraine, killing thousands.
Senior Ukrainian presidential official Kyrylo Tymoshenko on Monday accused Russia of blocking a humanitarian aid convoy sent to relieve the besieged city of Mariupol.
Civilians have been trapped in Mariupol by Russian shelling for more than two weeks and have been without heating, electricity and running water for most of this time, the Ukrainian authorities say.
However, at least 160 cars left the city on Monday in the first successful attempt to evacuate civilians in a humanitarian corridor after over a week of trying.
Around 150,000 people had been evacuated through humanitarian corridors so far, Tymoshenko said
