Men attached camera to tank's gun barrel to create the ultimate selfie stick

A group of Ukrainian soldiers came up with a truly unique way of documenting their exploits by attaching a camera to their tank's gun barrel.

The dangerous selfie stick captured footage of the soldiers travelling through what is believed to be the Donbass region in eastern Ukraine.

The particular area has been the scene of bitter fighting since separatists there began an armed revolt to break away from Kiev to join neighbouring Russia.

Internet commentators, who watched the footage, stated that the Ukrainian soldiers 'are having as much fun as they can' while on duty in the area.

The video shows the men driving around on the tank, and captures the beautiful sunsets and sunrises from the unique perspective of the gun barrel.

Later in the clip, the camera is moved inside the tank to shoot footage of the men going about odd jobs, including loading the gun.

The gun is then fired - the force of the explosion causes the camera to fly backwards.

The video concludes with two tanks passing one another, and a solider on one giving the other the thumbs up, before a tank fires a highly explosive round.

The war in Donbass broke out in March 2014 when demonstrations by pro-Russian and anti-government groups took place in the Donetsk and Luhansk areas.

These demonstrations, which followed the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation, escalated into an armed conflict between the separatist forces and the Ukrainian government.

A ceasefire was brokered and now the war is effectively at a standstill, but Kiev still rotates thousands of troops there every month.
