Some Squad type shit
So what was up with the second tank was it already knocked out or what?
Wow an RPG-7 can penetrate a T80BV from the rear I guess?
Been a while with no Javelin action.
That guy is a fucking bad ass. Was the other tank functional I wonder? It didn’t seem to be manned. Either way that’s the type of shit that wins wars. Fucking bad ass that guy is.
Edit: on rewatching the turret did seem to move after the barrels collided. Which makes what he did even more fucking brave. These guys are fucking warriors man.
hard to tell cause the camera is panning but at :09 it seems like the second tank makes a slight turret adjustment right towards the shooter and away from the first tank slightly. and then again at :30 after its turret is knocked up and falls back down, another small adjustment right. crazy to think the entire time the second tank might have been trying to zero in
Man I remember that one. Sheesh, I have watched every vid?
This might be a dumb question but are these guys actually being dropped off from a plane?
I think this is the only tank kill with an RPG (shoulder fired as opposed to strapped to a drone) that I can remember in this war.
My thoughts and prayer going out to the man that pulled the granade launcher trigger. Hooefully no ruSSkiye survivors.
Fuck it we ball
Question:
You don’t want to shoot at the engine in this case, right?
Argument:
The tank will be immobilized, sure. If the fire suppression does its job, you now have a manned tank right next to your position. The crew sure as hell is not coming out, at least not before emptying their ammo at your position. Now you got a tank shooting almost point blank at your position so you are left waiting till artillery or FPV drones finish it off. In this case you might be lucky enough, because the tank will not have enough elevation for the gun to shoot at you, but still…
The days of tanks operating on their own in the open … just lunacy.
how the earth doesn’t collapse and gravitate onto the balls of the RPG shooter is beyond comprehension
I’m no expert, but That looked like a T-90 from here… What do you think?
It’s almost weird seeing a tank without all the coping and netting built around it for drone protection. It makes it easy to spot early war footage.
