​Marines of the 501st Marine Battalion "de-militarize" the Russian army with a Ukrainian-made "Stugna-P" ATGM

Ukrainian marines once again show that no Russian tank is out of reach of the Ukrainian "Stugna-P" anti-tank guided missile. Video published on the Facebook page of Naval Force Command of Ukrainian Armed Forces shows another tank hit from afar.

Given the missile's flight duration and the claimed velocity of about 200–220 mph, the missile was presumably launched from 4,600 to 5,000 m away from the tank. Another characteristic of the missile is the effective range of up to 5 km which makes the marines' shot almost a "hit on the edge".

"Another ruscist T-72 tank was brought into a right condition, that is, into metal scrap. Great job by the 'Stugna-P' calculation squad of the marines!" said the Naval Force Command on Facebook. Here's the footage:

This is not the sole example of a long-range attack from Ukrainian soldiers. Previously, Defense Express covered a precise 4.5 km shot by the 128th Mountain Assault Brigade servicemen.

"Stugna-P" is an ATGM of Ukrainian manufacture with a laser-guided system. Find out more details on the capabilities of the missile.
