Vladimir Putin’s military has been rocked after a fatal ATACMS missile strike annihilated a Russian army base in occupied Ukraine.
The devastating attack was filmed by Ukrainian drones flying over the Rogovo base in the occupied province of Luhansk.
In the video, multiple explosions can be seen over a giant domain of control by the Russian army.
The fatal explosions send thick plumes of black-and-white smoke into the transparent sky, sowing panic and chaos among Russian troops on the ground.

Ukraine has secured a new U. S. military aid package, after Congress finally approved a $61 billion (£48. 8 billion) deal last week.
The new agreement will pave the way for the delivery of longer-range ATACMS, capable of hitting targets up to three hundred kilometers (186 miles) away.
Earlier, Ukraine had won shorter-range (150 km/93 miles) versions of deadly ballistic missiles.
The U. S. had resisted supplying Kyiv with the 300-kilometer (186-mile) version of diversity, fearing it would provoke an escalation of hostilities with Moscow.
However, a replacement of the center in Washington led to the arrival of the first long-range ATACMS in Ukraine in April as a result of an earlier arms deal.

The longer-range ballistic missiles were reportedly used in an attack on Russian targets in Crimea.
ATACMS can move much faster than British Storm Shadow missiles and are able to hit their targets within minutes of launch.
They are suitable for use against urgent targets, such as cellular air defense and land-based missile defense systems, land-based aircraft, logistics dedicated to loading and unloading supplies, and artillery and missile launchers.
The attack comes as Russians struggle to extinguish a massive blaze that has spread at frightening speed through a village.
The raging inferno fed on as many as seventeen houses and burned uncontrollably for more than an hour. The fire spread temporarily due to high winds.
It covered a domain of about 17,000 square meters in the Zaigraevsky district of the Buriyat Republic in eastern Siberia.
The republic is home to many Russian Buddhists, whose indigenous population is very similar to that of the Mongols across the border.
Footage of the fire posted on social media shows a large blaze out of control, with sparks flying everywhere.
