Why you dont buy Russian armor

[Windigo]

look toward the rear of the tank at the 5 second mark. You can see hot gasses shooting out of what is likely the penetration point .... who ever shot it at that close of range has got steel balls

[MIGMaster]

They probably hit it with a paintball gun given the quality of Russian armour.  ;)

^I've been hit in the rear with a paintball gun and was spewing hot gasses for hours.

^And your ass provides you with much better protection than Russian armor ever would.

[Gusington]

^It does. When I was fatter it provided even more cushioning.

This wasn't a wheeled AFV, it was a tracked one. Judging from the shape of the front and and the road wheels (not to mention the title of the video!) it was a BMP.

Good eye.  But a coffin, by any other name....

Agreed, no doubt a BMP1.

[GDS_Starfury]

we may all be wrong on this one.

[Capn Darwin]

I think T-55 or T-62. The gun is too long for a BMP1, too large a diameter for a BMP-2. I the bottom animation watch for the smoke billowing out just as the turret brews up.

[Staggerwing]

It's possible if the turret is reversed, pointing the gun to the rear. Star and I are definitely wrong as the turret is too big and the 'road wheels' don't include the slight spacing between the second and third set that the BTR series had. Wheels also look too big for a T-62 and turret too small for a T-55. I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's a T-72 of some kind based on road wheel size and turret size relative to hull/wheels.

[GDS_Starfury]

T-72.

A bmp gets it in the rear
