Russian T-72 Takes Massive Hit While Attempting To Flee
Published 2 years ago
Update: Well, shortly after posting the original footage, I found a longer, better quality cut of the same incident. As mentioned before, I was curious to whether or not anyone had survived. From this new perspective, you clearly see two men jump from the burning tank just moments before it slams into a telephone pole. The only question left at hand is whether or not the driver was killed during or managed to escape the fiery blaze. It could be possible that one of the three men running away was the driver? You let me know what you think in the comments below.
Wild footage reportedly from the Donetsk region of Ukraine, shows a Russian T-72 taking a massive, direct hit from Ukrainian forces.
It's unclear in the footage what type of explosive hit this T-72, but if I were to guess it would be either an Anti-tank guided missile (ATGM), or a Ukrainian operated tank. Similar to other ATGM footage, the vehicle is sent into a fiery blaze almost immediately after impact. Judging by where the round impacts on the turret, I'd assume some of the crew did not survive or sustained massive injuries as a result of the explosive.
Who knows though, some other footage we posted over the past few days had me scratching my head... Maybe these tanks are a lot safer than I expected.
