Russia 'suffers deadliest day of invasion yet with nearly a THOUSAND troops killed' as video shows panic-stricken soldiers fleeing on armored vehicle which flips as it speeds away from Ukrainian attackBy MAILONLINE REPORTER

Nearly 1,000 Russian soldiers have been killed in a single day in Ukraine, Kyiv has claimed, marking the deadliest day of Vladimir Putin's war since his troops invaded the country eight months ago. Ukrainian forces have been making gains across Russian-occupied areas, with fighting intensifying in the country's east and in the southern city of Kherson. In a blow to Putin's invasion, 950 Russian soldiers were killed on Sunday, pushing his force's death toll up to at least 71,200, Kyiv has claimed.
And in yet another example of the incompetence of his forces, video shows panic-stricken Russian soldiers fleeing a Ukrainian attack on an armored vehicle - only for it to flip over and fling the troops into the air. Footage, apparently from Kherson, shows Russian soldiers running towards an armored vehicle as Ukrainian missiles rain down on them. The soldiers scramble on top of the armored vehicle and are seen smiling as they speed off down a road away from the Ukrainian attack.
But the vehicle suddenly veers to the right and into a ditch, causing the Russian soldiers - no longer smiling - to scream in fear. The driver quickly steers to the left, but the speeding vehicle flips over - flinging the troops on to the road below them. The video then cuts out. It is the latest example of just how incompetent Putin's forces are as Russia tries to round up as many men as possible and push them to the front lines, regardless of skill, training and equipment. The UK's Ministry of Defence (MoD) said in its latest intelligence briefing that Russia has deployed several thousand newly mobilized reservists to the front line in Ukraine - but in many cases they are 'poorly equipped'. 'In September, Russian officers were concerned that some recently mobilized reservists were arriving in Ukraine without weapons,' the MoD said in its Monday morning briefing. For those Russian soldiers who are turning up with weapons, they are often being issued AKM rifles, which fires 7.62 mm ammunition. This is different to the ammunition required in the rifles issued to Russia's regular combat units.
