What you're looking at in this video is a BMP-2 in Kursk being destroyed by a landmine strike. We published that video a week ago, and you can find it by searching "Russian BMP Dismembered by Mine." That said, the video is being released as if it were javelin missile strike. There's two schools of thought behind that. The first, and most likely version, is that someone thought the video would be cooler if it showed a javelin strike instead of Russian randomly rolling over the top of a landmine. Cooler videos result in more clicks, more clicks result in more social media clout for the person who made the silly edit of the guys randomly firing a javelin missile before the explosion. The second school of thought is that this is a Psy Op. The Ukrainian want the Russians to believe that the threat of Javelin missiles are on the table in Kursk, so this poorly put together footage was released as an attempt to cause more caution amongst Russian armor units in the region. I firmly believe that the first school of thought is the most likely, and it's also why you should be cautious and curious about combat footage that you're watching.
