This is the moment a Russian tank is blown to smithereens by a Ukrainian anti-tank guided missile fired from almost three miles away.
Footage obtained today from the 128th Mountain Assault Brigade - a formation of the Ukrainian Ground Forces - shows how the tank is caught in the missile system's crosshairs before the projectile soars through the air and meets its target.
The brigade titled the video (in Ukrainian): 'Stugna against T-72: attackers of the 128th brigade destroyed a Russian tank with a Ukrainian missile from a distance of 4.5 km'.

Putin lovers aren’t going to like this
Tanks have been basically obsolete since WWII..............
They’ll be strangely quiet.
.
OK, what city was this? It can’t be Mariupol
I thought Putin said Mariupol has been conquered.
No, Tanks Are Not Obsolete — The Russian Army is Just Bad at Combined Arms
We should remember there are living humans inside most of those tanks which are desroyed. Not all.
A fair number are abandoned before they are hit.
But, that is war. Both sides are killing lots of other humans.
The main difference is one side is not playing on their home territory.
Now if only the daily mail when asked the question; why are certain Western government so hysterical about the Ukraine.
Daily Mail propaganda is always good for a laugh!

Russian forces took control of the villages of Makarivka, Blahodatne, Storozheve, Rivnopil and Novosilka;
Russian forces are advancing in the town of Rubizhne;
Clashes between the UAF and Russian forces continue in the south of Izyum.

Isn’t it fun watching White Christians killing other White Christians? I’m sure Obama, AOC, etc., are grinning from ear to ear.
I bet you biden-lovers like this, though
you biden-lovers are going to squealing like little girls, though
Seems like UK DM has reported that 100 Russian generals have been killed, 100 Russian helicopters, 300 Russian tanks have been destroyed. How does Russia have anything left? /s
The biden-lovers here will hate that
Tanks, but no tanks.
Wow, that was one loooong time of flight on the missile. It seemed like the gunner waited until the tank turned and was moving away. I wonder if that was intentional - so that the crew would be less likely to see the launch flash and/or missile trail heading towards them. Because they certainly had plenty of time to react if they had...
That begs a question
You wrote this about the was in Ukraine:
“The main difference is one side is not playing on their home territory.”
Why is that “the main difference”?
Is a war involving invasion inherently bad? If not, it cant be “the main difference”
If an invasion is inheerently bad, what does mean about our wars in Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Libya, and Serbia?
That's just the thing ... Biden is supporting Ukraine, so I'm obliged to support the Russians. I've always had a logical mind.
