Footage showed a Soviet-era T-54 tank packed with explosives rolling towards a Ukrainian trench near Marinka, Donetsk Oblast, guided by a remote control.
It then hit a land mine before being struck by a Ukrainian rocket - causing it to burst into a raging ball of smoke and fire.
But the tank embarrassingly missed its target, having detonated around 200ft from the Ukrainian troops.
