In a scene that felt more like a war movie than real life, Russian troops pulled off an audacious move right in front of Ukrainian forces — and yes, it was all caught on camera.
The incident quickly made the rounds online after it was shared by the “Work, Brothers!” Telegram channel, sparking both shock and disbelief.
Russian Soldiers Hijack Armored Vehicle on Camera
According to reports, a group of Russian servicemen from the 22nd Motor Rifle Regiment managed to steal a Canadian-made armored personnel carrier — the LAV Super Bison — right under the noses of Ukrainian soldiers.
What’s more surprising? The entire maneuver was filmed and later leaked.
The footage shows the Russian reconnaissance unit seizing the vehicle during an active standoff, not behind the scenes or under the cover of night, but right there in the open.
A Ukrainian Soldier’s Desperate Chase
In the video, a Ukrainian mechanic-driver can be seen sprinting after the APC, clearly realizing what’s happening but unable to stop the theft in time.
Despite his efforts, the Russian troops made off with the vehicle, disappearing before any defensive response could be mounted.
Canadian Equipment Caught in the Crossfire
The LAV Super Bison isn’t just any armored vehicle — it’s part of the military aid sent by Canada to support Ukraine.
The fact that such equipment ended up being hijacked by enemy forces adds a symbolic sting, especially as international allies continue supplying Ukraine with gear in their fight against Russian aggression.
What Happens Next?
As the video continues to spread, it’s drawing attention not only to the chaos and unpredictability of front-line warfare but also to the vulnerability of high-tech military hardware in a fast-moving conflict.
The Ukrainian military hasn’t yet released an official comment on the incident, but questions are already swirling about how it happened and what measures will be taken to prevent similar thefts in the future.
