* The CIA has been supplying vetted rebel groups with American weapons

* Target was a $4.5million T-90 tank, though it is not clear if it was being operated by Russian troops or Assad's forces
* Video shows missile hitting the tank, before crew are forced to flee moments later, suggesting it was badly damaged by the impact
* Video highlights dangerous proxy-war being waged between the U.S. and Russia in Syria, where a ceasefire is supposed to begin Saturday

Incredible footage has emerged showing the moment a Russian T-90 battle tank was hit by a $60,000 American-made TOW missile in Syria.

Uploaded by a Syrian rebel group called Mountain Hawks Brigade, fighting near the besieged city of Aleppo in the country's northeast, the film shows fighters coming under fire from the T-90.

As shots from the T-90's top-mounted machine gun crack and whistle overhead, the rebels can be seen adjusting and firing the missile which hits the tank head-on, just to the right of the main gun.

While the $60,000 projectile does not destroy the tank, crew can be seen fleeing the vehicle after it hits, suggesting it was badly damaged in the explosion.
