The attack on a Ukrainian armored vehicle was captured by a GoPro camera. A soldier sleeps despite the jolts and noise of the engine. Another on the roof checks that the machine gun is ready to fire. It is a Mastiff Mastiff, a British-built vehicle intended to protect crew from mines. As the vehicle advances, it passes two more destroyed Mastiffs and an abandoned Turkish Kirpi: a sign of the casualties Kiev suffered in the counteroffensive. Then the Russian cannon fire begins, stirring up clouds of earth. But the Mastiff does not slow down and continues its run amidst the explosions: it is reminiscent of the cavalry attacks of the 19th century, which continued under howitzer fire.
