Yeah but we still want to know, right? Were all weapongeeks here and this kind of info is appreciated.
100-300 Aussies fighting in Syria - I find that pretty disturbing.
Nice find, G.
I would understand such a curiosity if the weapon used would be a decisive factor for such performance and/or effect.
Oh, well. I think it's a RPG-7.
Islamisation of developed countries is a disturbing tendency of ourdays.
It's an ordinary AK with an rifle grenade attachment.

To me it looks like a Steyr Aug....
T-72s are garbage tanks, that's for sure.. RPG-7 can blow it up to pieces easily as if it was a toy tank..
The Syrian pro-government militia fighting and patroling in Aqraba (south-eastern suburb of Damascus)
Think so, too. The initial explosion blow open the hatch and had thrown him onto the back of the tank, torn his cloths. The cook-off threw him off the tank. The last part is good to see if you look at the video frame-by-frame.
Absolutely. For that matter, almost every HEAT warhead ever produced since the 70s is able to penetrate any side of a T-72 except the very front part of the turret (if it's a version with ceramic inlay).
I overlayed (easy job thanks to the very stable video) two images from the clip - makes it a little bit better to see were the warhead hit.
Still hard to tell. If not right between turret and hull it was very close.
So I think it is safe to say that it was a perfect hit.
The T-72 was hit by Dariya antitank missile...
Guided like Konkurs, Metis, Fagot or RPG 7, 29, M79 OSA ?
Su-22 striking the target in spinney
(warning: some graphic)
MiG-23BN dropping a couple of bomb and releasing flares
How in the world do the pro-Syrian government militia and the FSA tell each other part? Friendly fire incidents must be pretty common place.
Only that T-72s covered with ERA since 1985 at least can protect their sides against non-tandem warheads. Thus eliminating a threat of those old RPGs, AT-4 and any other non-tandem HEAT.
Yep, I have seen some videos from inside the tanks and they were carrying ammunition outside it. A big danger in an urban area. 22 rounds are enough.Syrian tanksmen should learn long ago to drive in urban battle only with half ammo, only with 22 rounds fitting to autoloader.
