The footage is just getting crazier and crazier every single day.

Invader tried to escape from the tank and is taken down. Crawls off to his death.
Well, he was driving on the wrong side of the road, for starters.
Saw that! Nasty way to go...but-appropriate!
It’s much more brutal when you realize that those things at the end flying through the air and flopping down onto the pavement are parts of the crew.
STEEL COFFIN.......................
I didn’t see any turn signals either. Hate those people.
I feel sorry for the Russian troops too who have no interest in this and are being used as canon fodder, while the man behind all of this, the little moon faced POS remains hidden in his bunker. A decapitation strike could have ended this all.
The only comment I have is why waste three rockets on them? Let them cook. Maybe their friends will turn around and go back to Russia.
Only saw one guy get out. Looks like the tank took 4 hits. Bad day at Black Rock.
Russian armor must be crapski....................
Expected result of a tank unsupported by any infantry operating in a built up area.
Tank #1 rolling down the street, turns right with tracer fire coming from building on the left. Note the barricade on one half of the street ahead, if the tank had continued straight. There is absolutely no infantry cover anywhere. Other tracked vehicles have clearly made this thunder run also, as you see the track marks all over the pavement throughout the rest of the video. Apparently no lessons were learned, as we're about to see.
Tank #1 gets hit by missile #1, seems to shrug it off.
Hit #2 breaks the left track. Tank stops and starts backing up, leaving behind the left track.
Hit #3 lands, and it's game over. The fighting compartment is penetrated, as you see the smoke come out the gun tube when the hit lands. You also see the commander's gunner's hatch open and smoke coming out of it as he's trying to bail. You also see the driver's hatch move, so he's thinking bail also.
Hit #4 smokes the gunner while he's standing on top of the tank after exiting, and he ends up on the road by the turn arrows. I'm not sure he has a head left. The driver bails and runs across the road past his headless gunner. Just as the driver is climbing over the fence, another missile explodes in the electrical (tram?) lines above the road, which knocks the driver down. You see him crawling off to the side of the road. Then another explosion hits the second tank off screen to the right, and perhaps what's left of one of that tanks crew comes raining down onto the road. Brutal.
Last shot shows the second tank, also smoking, and perhaps another deceased crew in the road next to it, or it's the other half of the crewmember we watched rain down a moment ago. As the video ends, the driver of tank #2 is also bailing out. Unfortunately for him, he's facing the building where all the tracer fire was coming from at the start, so he's completely exposed. Probably didn't end well for him either. If you also look behind the white van, 2 more guys are huddled behind it. I suspect this is also crew from tank 2, taking cover behind the van from fire originating from the apartment building at the start .
Me too. May Vlad Putin get what is coming to him, and get it very hard. A decapitation strike of him, Adolph Hitler and many others could have saved the world a lot of death and misery.
One tank attacking downtown alone. Rather odd.
The Russians are just bad at this.
I thought it was SOP that armor in an urban setting needs infantry support at all time.
The US just approved billion of dollars for them.
The question to ask is, “Why did they stop at three?”
Panzerfaust?
As St. Kyle of Kenosha says: “F*&k around, and find out”!! 😁
