      So this happened in the Philippines.

      This was an actual ambush on the mayor of Shariff Aguak in Maguindanao del Sur a sometime ago. CCTV shows his armored Toyota Land Cruiser getting hit by an RPG…The vehicle still kept moving and the mayor reportedly walked away unharmed. A few of the attackers were later killed when security forces responded.

      I don’t know the story, I don’t claim to be right, but that doesn’t look like a direct hit. It looks like it hit the ground under the vehicle. 

      RPG-7s are old tech, but they shouldn’t have any problem whatsoever in penetrating an armored car. Even a Panzerfaust could do that.

      Warhead likely failed to detonate within the LandCruiser – you see the penetration but it keeps driving meaning from description of the event no one was severely injured/killed.

      lol the glass didn’t even break it’s a dud or at the least not a direct hit.

      That is quite clearly a RPG-2 and not a RPG-7.

      Notice how the tube is all a similar diameter and there is no cone on the end of the RPG-2

      Wait… A mayor has an armored vehicle? How many political assassinations happen In the Philippines that a fucking mayor has to have armored vehicle?

      That looks like the classic older HEAT warhead, unless you are in the direct path of fragments from the HE shredding the outer metal body, or directly in the path of the superplastic copper jet odds are you walk away, especially if you have *some* armor to absorb the main overpressure wave. Normal civilian vehicles are open, and spacious, whereas tanks are famously cramped vehicles. When a heat warhead enters tank armor odds are the jet strikes a crew member or something spicy, or it hits something that redirects it all around the fighting compartment like the body of the main cannon.

      Not that hard to understand why an almost 90° side on hit to a lightly armored vehicle can and will leave survivors.

      Most of the fragments from the outer body will fly parallel to the vehicle, and the jet will cut through the light body, which will have a plastic and cloth interior acting as a spall liner for some of the fragments, then it will pass through the open space inside, and then exit the other side without being dispersed by thicker armor or internal objects.
