A Conservative MP's former Royal Marine son is believed to be part of a foreign volunteer team which took down a Russian transporter during a dramatic battle in Ukraine.
The BTR was badly damaged and exploded following attacks from what appeared to be American, British and potentially Canadian volunteers, with Ben Grant, 30, believed to be among the heroic team.
He is the son of Helen Grant, who is MP for Maidstone and The Weald.
Video shared on social media showed the group of soldiers face off with the armoured carrier.
After being hit by the foreign volunteers' launchers, the BTR - understood to be Russian - was reportedly cooked off by ammunition.

In the clip, approximately four men can be seen in a formation in an unknown location, although it appears to be in Ukraine.
Nearing explosions can be heard in the background and the group advances forward, with one member saying: 'Go, go, go!'
As they emerged from shrubbery into a more open field, the troops appeared a hair's width away from being struck down by an advancing BTR.

'Shoot it!' one man was then heard shouting, prompting a soldier in the squadron to try to fire off a launcher, but it didn't work.
Another soldier then fired his launcher - which users on Twitter have identified as a RGW-90 HH - and got a hit in.
The group then fell back and retreated into the woods. Explosions could still be heard in the background as one soldier warned 'it's facing towards us' and another yelled to 'pull back'.
