1. I never tire of watching that long Javelin lob. It’s like Superman picked up the missile and threw it at the tank.

2. Javelin strike at 48.520781, 37.992152. Looks to be fired from the opposite side of the body of water.

3. What was that directly behind the second vehicle.
   Behind in this case meaning beyond from our pov.
   Or above it?
   Same time as the mine strike. A sort of cone.?

4. Was there an explosion at the exact same time on the field? (When the tank hit the mine)

   ​

   Edit: Thinking about it for a second I suppose it could be a reflection the the camera lens/glass that it’s picking up?

5. alley-oop

6. I can’t wrap my head around the second explosion–how is it that at the _exact_ same moment there’s another explosion in the field to the north? It made me think of either SMArt or BONUS rounds that come in two per shell, but there’s no visible second round or discernible EFP jet.

7. That is beyond cool to see it in IR gain altitude then dive down so precisely. It’s engineering is so underrated.

8. I can’t really tell because I’m watching on mobile phone.  Did javalin struck the 2nd tank or 2nd tank drove past the first destroyed tank?

9. there’s a certain beauty and elegance in the javelin’s trajectory
