The fire was on the side(left).

Not very vulnerable there, even for that missle.

I wonder if it was a molitov cocktail.

From what was said, it sounded more like the tank fire had more to do with a mechanical problem than with enemy contact

The tracks have rubber treads which will burn with thick black smoke.

If the fire is only treads and gear, then the tank could be up and running within an hour or two.


Again there was no sign of smoke coming up from the hatches.
