Shocking Moment Russian Commander Accidentally Takes Out Five of His Comrades With His Turret - VIDEO

This is the shocking moment a Russian tank commander accidentally took out his own comrades with the vehicle's turret. 

In a clip posted by Ukraine's Ministry of Defence on Twitter, the tank first swerves past another armoured vehicle - which appears to be on fire. 

It then goes to pass by another fellow tank - lined with troops - but the turret accidentally sweeps at least five soldiers from where they are sitting in an apparent own goal.
