Several rounds of heavy gunfire then ring out in the clip as sparks fly towards Putin’s military might.
Giant clouds of smoke billow into the Ukrainian sky as each vehicle is hit and swiftly taken out by the solo, 61 ton Leopard tank.
The trucks are left up in flames on the road as Russian soldiers attempt to flee to safety.
Aerial footage shows the men deserting their motors and running into a forest clearing to cower beneath the trees.
Only for them to be accurately eliminated in further gunfire and UAV hits.
The clip was shared to Telegram by the 33rd Separate Mechanized Brigade unit.
Alongside the video they said: “One for a whole column.
“Together with the artillery, the brigade crew of the Leopard tank stopped the armoured column of the Russians.
“The landing party hastily unloaded into the forest strip, without achieving the priority goals.
“Shortfalls were made up by resets from UAV operators.
“Effective work simply destroys the heads of the enemies.”
It comes as Russia reportedly suffered its deadliest day of the near 1,000 day war this week.
Putin lost nearly 4,000 troops within a mere 48 hours as the new daily high of Russian soldiers killed or wounded in action hit a catastrophic 1,950 on Tuesday.
Marking a devastating escalation in the brutal war.
This figure surpasses the previous high of 1,770 that only occurred on Monday as Russian casualties reported by Kyiv continue to mount.
Ukraine’s General Staff released the grim statistics, estimating Russia’s total casualties since the start of the full-scale invasion at over 710,000.
October was already one of the bloodiest months for Russian forces.

Earlier in the month, UK Defense Minister John Healey reported 41,980 Russian troops were killed or injured in October alone.
Earlier this week, unbelievable footage captured the moment Putin’s £25million attack helicopter went up in flames after a suspected Ukrainian sabotage attack inside Russian territory.
Video shared by Ukraine‘s Ministry of Defence (MoD)shows a massive blaze coming out of what Kyiv claims was a Russian Mi-24 assault chopper that has now been wiped out.
The clip shows a massive ball of fire burning at the Klin-5 airbase, just miles away from Moscow city centre, overnight on November 9.
A shadowy figure, believed to be a Ukrainian spy, can be seen pointing their fingers at the sabotage.
Trump could greenlight Ukraine striking Russia with long-range missiles, ex-MI6 chief says
By Foreign News Reporter Ellie Doughty
DONALD Trump could give the go-ahead for Ukraine to hammer long-range missiles inside Russia, the former head of MI6 told The Sun.
Sir Richard Dearlove dismissed alarmist concerns following the Republican strongman’s epic election win and said he could crack down on Putin despite leaked plans suggesting a softer approach.
The ex-Spook insisted Trump wouldn’t “risk his reputation as a strong president by selling Ukraine down the river”.
Sir Dearlove said: “An awful lot of people are throwing their toys out of the pram and being very alarmed at this point in time.
“But I think we need to be much more balanced, much more reserved and, you know, take stock.
“Obviously there’s going to be momentum generated by his administration for some sort of deal or settlement in Ukraine.”
Ukraine has long pushed for a relaxing of permissions on its use of American and British weaponry – hoping to fire long-range rockets inside Putin’s territory.
Without air force cover to protect from enemy attacks, Kyiv’s forces argue the broader missile use would make all the difference in pushing back Russian forces.
Western allies have hesitated to green-light their use for fear of escalation between Putin and Nato.
Sir Dearlove said: “I think that Trump is less risk averse than Biden was in terms of how American weapons might be used in Ukraine.
“So you could imagine a situation where he takes the restraints off Ukrainian use of longer-range American missile capability which the Ukrainians will have.”
