The world's largest armies are failing.
After more than a month of war, the Russian military has faced a lot of casualties. With weapons from NATO allies, the Ukrainian army has so far denied entry to Russian forces for nearly all of its major cities.
The internet has been flooded with videos of Russian tanks bursting into flames. The Ukrainian military is using a variety of weapons, including land mines, Stunga-Ps guided missiles and shoulder-fired missiles.
The New York Times reported that the United States and NATO armed Ukraine with more than 17,000 anti-tank weapons in less than a week.
Advances in guided missiles are making it easier for soldiers to kill tanks. Out of the 2,840 tanks in Russia's active arsenal, at least 340 have been destroyed in Ukraine.
There are seven videos that show the different ways the Ukrainian army is annihilating Russian tanks.
A land mine is a hidden device that is designed to destroy people who come into contact with them. Land mines can be a problem for civilians for a long time after combat has ended. Land mines have been used in many conflicts, including the Vietnam War, the Korean War, and the first Gulf War.

Javelin is a portable anti-tank missile system that can be launched by a single person. The track and field spear is useful against tanks because they can strike from the top and it has a range of 2.5 miles. The Javelin system allows soldiers to take cover or reload immediately after being fired at. The Javelin was first deployed in 1996.

The Stugna-P is an anti-tank missile system. It is less portable and cheaper than the Javelin, but has proved to be very effective against Russian tanks. It can be camouflaged and set up on tripods to allow soldiers to hide. With a firing range of up to 3.1 miles, Stugna-P can be guided using a remote control or its own laser.
