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

After watching, I was wondering if the 3rd or maybe the 4th explosion was from the tank ordinance going off rather than another rocket hitting it.
Yeah, that’s part of the crew from the second tank flying in at 1:15. Such a waste.
I thought those were body parts. Guess that’s what they are?
Just read, they don’t know what city this is. So who knows where or when. And Azov has a sophisticated propaganda machine also, so just not possible to tell.
One wonders with the top heavy command structure of the Russian Army the subunits commanders just say **** it and run the gauntlet to meet some time table. The Red Army was notorious for willing to use up men and material to meet the plan.
Hopefully they were wearing their face masks!
My sympathies are with the Ukraine civilians primarily, who are being bombed in acts of terror.
Then Ukraine combatants.
Finally with the Russian conscripts, because Putin is a freaking loser. Russia will never end game this and this is the beginning of the end for Putin’s Russia.
You made me laugh!
After a hundred year run, it appears that tanks are definitively obsolete.
There were some pretty big losses in the Sinai in ‘73. Since then it has been a seesaw battle between better armor, active countermeasures, etc., but it now appears that the missile developers have won.
Der blitzkrieg ist kaput!
The war hawks want to send Americans to Ukraine as fodder. I was watching a clip of Vietnam, remembering those M________ F_______ Johnson and McNamara.
Cool, snuff films. High class entertainment
this is sick
This is war footage of what’s happening with Russia’s invasion of peaceful Ukraine.
I think its all one tank. Different angles . Two cameras
nevermind...I see the wsecond now..
The tank did seem to shake off the first two hits. In particular the second impact looked like it detonated some of the reactive armor.
The third hit is curios. Note that smoke issues out of the main gun barrel. The impact seemed to be on the turret or base of the turret (the first two were on the hull). But whatever blast effects got into the turret - part of it vented out the main gun tube. That means it was unloaded, with the breach open. WTH? Why would you not have an HE round loaded and be looking for the A-T teams engaging you? It also looks like the third hit was a "mission kill" - it wasn't going to be able to fight anymore.
The fourth hit destroyed it. Maybe more reactive armor going off, but also more smoke and obvious blast effects got into the hull. An automated fire suppression system might keep it from burning, but that tank was completely out of action, probably un-repairable at that point.
I only saw one tank from different angles. The first hits seems to be deflected by the reactive armor. Not sure why there is a cut in the filming.
the RA worked...
The drone video is a bit disorientating as it shows from one side of the tank and then the other. Use the tank tread that came off as a reference point. The second tank can be seen at the end on the top part of the video and the first tank at the bottom.
Make that the middle of video (not top) and bottom.
