So you say there *is* actually a difference between a maxxpro and a scoobydoo van with tires bolted to its sides? I think the Russians got that wrong.
We need to make tank armour from this windshield. It seems as though they withstand drone blast better
Note, the glass was already cracked, so that is a couple of hits it has taken.
What is the MO for the driver of a vehicle struck like that? Floor it withing the boundaries of visibility or stop, radio for evac and scatter into the surrounding area?
Was the windshield already cracked before? Thats extra impressive
Great, now I have the Carglass jingle stuck in my head.
I’d like that windshield in my Ranger
Just buff it out no worries….. /S seriously that is impressive that it looks like it had already taken a hit and dead nutts drone to the windshield and it’s still rolling like nothing happened
Slava Ukraini
Impressive defense !
fck…orcs would have been ‘cosmonauting’ after such a hit
thank God for proper equipment!
The casualness of what he said (not sure exactly). Is like “oh what a minor inconvenience”.. instead of hysterical screaming like I’d probably produce.
Looks like it struck the left top of the hood, and the warhead fired downwards through the left front fender/wing. Not quite a direct hit on the windshield itself- if the warhead had struck true it would have gone straight through.
That’s not to say this isn’t impressive as all hell- a PG-7 (this looks like the older, lighter version) is around a pound (450ish grams?) of explosive, and that’s not a small thing to have happening half a meter away.
Not a direct hit to the wind shield, but still impressive af considering it was cracked already
I heard there are even stronger glass subsitutes out there. Once the manufacturing and technology improves, it can be installed in future Infantry Fighting Vehicles.
It seems drone bounced from hood , luckily it was not direct hit in glass, attack angle was bad. We see some antennas probably jamming, probably drone was blind last seconds before hit
Hell yea, I hit 80pounds of HME in my MaxxPro, took it like a champ.
But what about the underwear
I think pretty much any thing armored can take that fail hit.
It looks like the drone glanced. If you look carefully the vehicle was turning right (see treeline) it’s possible the driver saw it and evaded a direct hit. I wonder what he is saying before the impact?
Wow that’s what we call pure quality!
MaxxPros are tough as nails. The windshield is actually two pieces and we call them view blocks. One driver and a separate passenger side to facilitate repair. Multiple laminated layers. About half a foot thick.
You have an Date for this? I ether saw the same like … ugh brain come on … 4-8 months ago or just an very similiar one.
If the Glas insurance covers that?
Insane. I hope they send more of these.

Eat it like a car eats bugs to their windshield! Some bloody units right there, both car and occupants, taking it without flinching
What do these moxon antenna’s do on the hood. Aiming up? These are directional antenna’s right??
Is it for jamming in this case?
That was epic ❗️🫡
Cool you found a frame where you can see the payload. Good job!
Bet the window wipers still fucking work
It really helps that the shaped charge wasn’t pointed directly at the pre-cracked glass, so it only needed to absorb the energy from the blast and the shrapnel
Wow, when money isn’t stolen, or diverted and armored glass is ACTUALLY installed in military vehicles, they actually provide protection against explosions and metal fragments.
I’ve got a feeling that someone in the Russian Army’s motorpool sold off all of their armored windshields and replaced it with plate glass–not even tempered glass. There are now Russian mafiosos with bulletproof glass and reactive armor on their limousines.
Beautiful, baby! America tech doing it’s job and keeping the soft humans inside safe and in one piece for the next battle. Keep the arms and materiel flowing and Ukraine will clean up Eastern Europe of the Russcist scum, it’s nothing but old money we spent decades ago and The GOP wants to restock the cupboards anyway.
Excellent that everyone’s safe.. but how do you drive that out away from the next hit?
And the window already had a big crack on the right side (looks like two bullet impacts to me).

Damn, what a beast
Solid shit🙌
I hope he/they made it safely back to the base.
Where the cope cage? Maybe save the windshield?

>F-35 fighter jets use sapphire windows to cover their high-tech sensor arrays – in fact, each fighter jet uses over 200 pounds of sapphire. The Air Force gave Rubicon a grant to build a furnace and grow the biggest single crystal sapphire windows in the world for these jets (with a record-shattering size of over three feet long and 18 inches wide).
