This is the shocking moment a Russian tank commander accidentally took out his own comrades with the vehicle's turret.
In a clip posted by Ukraine's Ministry of Defence on Twitter, the tank first swerves past another armoured vehicle - which appears to be on fire.
It then goes to pass by another fellow tank - lined with troops - but the turret accidentally sweeps at least five soldiers from where they are sitting in an apparent own goal.
One of the fallen men appears to have difficulty getting back to his feet but the others appear to be unscathed and flee the scene.
The ministry mocked the Russian army in the caption, saying: 'The biggest threat to mobilised Russian infantry are mobilised Russian tankmen.'
