Before they made that video, they packed the tank with 2 tons of high explosives.

This is not a real tank, The frontal armor T72 A huge piece of monolithic steel! Where huge chunks of steel? Why is the mechanics of brittle components are preserved, huge pieces of steel disappeared?

@monsteronacid Just 45kg, actually. Put in the right place.

@peacebuntou most tanks have like this tube on the side that can shoot anything out of the sky (missles, not jets) it forms an invisible protective sphere around the tank and can aim and shoot down missiles in lightning speeds, i forgot what system it's called but it can totally stop multiple javelin attacks, easily too. they adapted this tech off aircraft carriers cos they too have these anti air measures in place.

Badass

[peacebuntou]

A pity it doesnt do that Bad company 2. For reals though, how does a tank team counter that firepower in real life. Would they what they have one aircraft to deter anti-air missles? I means sheesh

Кто знает проясните.Говорят эта штука испытывает громадные трудности при стрельбе по движущейся цели и слишком погодозависима

"...the effect of the explosion of dummy tank was intensified with the aid of the additional installation of the radio-controlled explosive device with a weight of more than 80 lb. We again bring our apologies even we hope that the given above facts will be sufficient for the softening of conflict situation at this and other forums.
