Russian T-80 MBT Smoked by Javelin Team
Published 1 years ago
This footage shows a Javelin team from the 3rd Assault Brigade destroying a Russian T-80 main battle tank on the outskirts of Bakhmut. The Javelin team is positioned at the edge of a tree line while the tank is on the move across open ground in front of a wooded area. The Javelin team takes its shot and then ducks into the trees, and the destruction of the tank is captured by drone. The final scene is presumably the tank’s fuel and ammo cooking off. The Russians seem committed to sending individual armored vehicles trundling about the battlefield without other vehicles or infantry in support.
