Ukrainian troops have used a British-made anti-tank missile system to blast a Russian armoured vehicle to pieces. Footage from the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Wednesday appears to show the missile system in action. The Ukrainian military said the Russian tank was destroyed by a Sweden-UK-produced Next generation Light Anti-tank Weapon (NLAW). The weapon system was designed by SAAB Bofors Dynamics and manufactured in the UK, predominantly by Thales Air Defence. The Armed Forces of Ukraine said "the occupier's tank was destroyed by NLAW" and joked that they made the Russian enemy "eat borsch", a sour soup made with red beetroots that originated in Ukraine and is popular in Eastern Europe. According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the tank was destroyed in the easternmost Ukrainian province of Luhansk Oblast and was carried out by "soldiers of the 57th separate motorized infantry brigade named after Kosh Ataman Kostya Gordienko". On Wednesday, the Ukrainian military also reported that Russian shelling took place in several cities in Luhansk Oblast.
