Russian T-72 Drives Within Inches Of Ukrainian RPG Gunner
Published 1 years ago
Russian drone footage from a battle in Ukraine shows a Russian T-72 tank firing and driving within a few few of an unseen Ukrainian RPG gunner. As the tank passes the Ukrainian soldier takes aim and sends a rocket propelled grenade at the rear of the tank. The round seems to deflect off the turret. Either the round hit at an unacceptable angle or the impact was within the minimum arming distance for the warhead. The result is an ineffective strike on the tank.
