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.
