Not sure if the Ukrainians got away. Looks like they got one tank for certain, hit and maybe incapacitated a second.

What do the veterans here think? Looks like they were too close to get away. The first shot was around 50 meters, the NLAW has a 1 km range.

Was terrain and trees a factor in getting that close?

Looks like the Ukes got 1 tank. 2 russian tanks returned fire but doubt if they hit anything.

“ The first shot was around 50 meters, the NLAW has a 1 km range.”

Maybe they are just used to RPGs to attack tanks, that require you to get that close.

More likely, in my opinion, is that it was a small unit sticking together to conduct the ambush. One guy got the NLAW, and others had RPGs.
