Watch as Russian tank commander takes out FIVE of his own men using turret in blundering footage.

THIS is the shocking moment a Russian tank commander wiped out his OWN troops in a manoeuvre blunder.

The tank swerved out of control before hitting comrades on another vehicle with its turret.

Footage showed at least six men being struck off their tank but miraculously, they manage to get back up and run to safety.

One man is knocked to the ground and stays down for some time before being able to get up and stagger away.

It was shared by the Ukraine's Ministry of Defence through Twitter as they mocked their enemy's embarrassing error.
