A fourth episode in a compelling series of videos documents a brutal battle for a T-shaped treeline in Donetsk in which Ukrainian tanks assault and even crush a Russian occupied trench and systematically neutralizing the infantry troops at close range while dodging incoming AT fire and grenades.
The Ukrainian tank crew is running low on ammo and decides crushing the Russian trench onto the occupiers will be more successful and efficient than firing at such close range. They thoroughly drive back and forth through the position, and at approximately six minutes into the video a visibly mangled Russian body is spit out of the tank treads.
Eventually a Ukrainian infantry fighting vehicle delivers a squad of ground troops who clear the trenches for any remaining resistance. While there, Russian artillery begins riding down suggesting that the battle for this position is far from over.
