Ukraine forces destroy Russian column with Corsar guided missile launcher

Ukrainian Guardsman blasts a Russian armoured vehicle with a Corsar guided missile launcher from a distance of 1.5 miles.

The Centre for Strategic Communications (StratCom) said on 6th June: “With each shot, the Ukrainian defender reduces the enemy equipment!

“This is the work of a National Guardsman with the call sign ‘Hulk’ in Donbas. The warrior owns the Corsar system and neutralised enemy equipment from a distance of 2.5 kilometres (1.55 miles)!”

SratCom added: “Real superheroes are defending Ukraine!”

In the footage, ‘Hulk’ is seen shooting a missile from the launcher before apparently hitting an enemy armoured vehicle travelling along the road. By the end of the clip, the whole convoy has been destroyed.

Russian troops invaded Ukraine on 24th February in what the Kremlin is still calling a "special military operation". Today marks the 104th day of the campaign.

From 24th February to 6th June, the total combat losses of Russian troops stand at around 31,250 personnel, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The Ukrainian military also claims that Russia has lost 1,386 tanks, 3,400 armoured fighting vehicles, 690 artillery systems, 207 multiple launch rocket systems, 96 anti-aircraft systems, 211 warplanes, 176 helicopters, 2,395 motor vehicles and fuel tankers, 13 vessels, 551 unmanned aerial vehicles, 53 units of special equipment, and 125 cruise missiles.

Meanwhile, the Ukrainian Centre for Strategic Communications (StratCom) claimed on 6th June that Russian Major General Roman Kutuzov was killed in a battle near Popasna in the Luhansk region.

StratCom said: “Exclusive. Meet. Commander of the DNR's 1st Army Corps (of the orcs), Major General Roman Kutuzov has been officially denazified and demilitarized”.
