Watch Dramatic Moment Ukrainian Nursery Teacher Takes Out Russian Missile With Rocket Launcher

A Ukrainian soldier was filmed successfully shooting down a Russian cruise missile during her first combat launch.

Nataliia Hrabarchuk worked as a nursery school teacher before becoming a soldier to fight against Russia following the start of the war in Ukraine.

The footage, which emerged on Ukraine’s Western Air Command Facebook page, shows Hrabarchuk destroying the Kh-101 long-range missile on Sunday morning during Russia’s latest large-scale attack.

The clip shows Hrabarchuk dropping to her knees in joy after firing an Igla MANPADS - a man-portable air defence system launched from her shoulder.

Well done Mrs Nataliia Hrabarchuk.

I mean talk about a lucky shot!

It seems akin to the likes of hitting a bullet with another bullet.

And with a missile from the 1980s, the "Igla/Gimlet".

Hopefully downing the thing saved some lives.

Ummm...nice propaganda piece...which actually doesn't show...why...anything...

Where is the incoming cruise missile vapor trail...?

Where and when does it actually show the manpad...intersecting with and downing...anything...?

Why does the film only show the manpad exhaust trail...and then conveniently the camera focuses on the kindergarten teacher...followed by a detonation sound clip...but no video of any interception...?


You do seem to swallow the official narrative rather succinctly...and easily...

Keep up the good work...

Ummm, says the Putin fanboy.

The piece is what it is YouSir.

And its just what you see.

A moment of hope in an otherwise tragic situation.

As to what you swallow, i would not care to speculate.

Have a nice day.
