Their unit, known as the Dark Angels, began the commando-style raid after troops from Ukraine’s 28th Brigade gave them an £80,000 fire-and-forget missile.
Body cam footage shot by fellow Brit fighter Sam Newey - a student from Birmingham with no previous military experience - shows the four-man team creeping up to a ridge line to fire the US-made guided weapon.
Britain has given Ukraine some 200 Javelin missiles which have a maximum range of 2.5km. The US donated thousands more.
