February 22, 1980.

The underdog U.S. team defeated the four-time defending gold medal Soviet team at the XIII Olympic Winter Games in Lake Placid, New York.

The U.S. win is considered one of the most dramatic upsets in Olympic history.

The Soviet squad fell to the youthful American team 4-3 before a frenzied crowd of 10,000 spectators.

The American team trailed most of the game, finally taking the lead with ten minutes left.

When the final horn sounded, the players, coaches and team officials poured onto the ice in celebration.

To many Americans, the "Miracle on Ice" represented a Cold War victory

Putin’s Kamikaze Drones Tear Through Ukraine’s Military Line: Leopard Tank, APCs, Howitzers Hit

In a decisive and powerful strike, Russian forces have targeted and destroyed a German-made Leopard tank, along with several other key military assets, in Ukraine’s Kharkiv region. Using kamikaze drones, the Russian military identified the Leopard tank through reconnaissance UAVs before launching a series of devastating drone attacks. The tank was seen engulfed in flames as it was struck multiple times. In addition to the Leopard tank, two more tanks, an M113 APC, and two pickup trucks were eliminated. Russian forces also neutralized five Soviet-made D30 howitzers and four U.S.-made M101 and M119 howitzers. This destruction occurred during a failed Ukrainian counter-attack, leading to significant losses for Kyiv in an ongoing battle for control in the region. #Putin #KamikazeDrones #LeopardTank #UkraineMilitary #RussianForces #Kharkiv #MilitaryStrike #UkraineLosses #RussianVictory #CounterAttackFail #APCsDestroyed #HowitzersHit #UkrainianDefense #RussianMilitary #TacticalStrike Also Read 9/11 Like Attack Takes Place In Russia; All Flights At Kazan Airport Suspended :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/9-11-like-attack-takes-place-in-russia-all-flights-at-kazan-airport-suspended-011-4022565.html?ref=DMDesc Russia Launches Free Cancer Vaccine: Free Distribution To Begin In 2025 :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-launches-free-cancer-vaccine-free-distribution-to-begin-in-2025-4019757.html?ref=DMDesc Uzbekistan National Arrested For Assassination Of Russian Chemical Weapons Chief Igor Kirillov :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/uzbekistan-national-arrested-for-assassination-of-russian-chemical-weapons-chief-igor-kirillov-4019123.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.274~HT.336~GR.344~
