Es folgt eine gewaltige Explosion, als FSA-Kämpfer einen SAA T-72-Panzer mit einem TOW angreifen – Damaskus, 15. Oktober 2014

What a classic these video is, i remember it years ago. If you go frame by frame, really slowly and i know is dificult to catch it, but the missile apears to perfurate the tank from one end to the other, with the explosion first venting out from the rear deck but it quickly and you can see it clearly, starts lifting the turret and vents that way as well.

But it must have been a very well stocked tank, early in the conflict it was still common to see these tanks fully loaded on ammunition and fuel and crews had some experience specialy when it came to the T-72´s since they where issued to better quality units, in the end the force of the explosion was so massive, netheir the rear deck nor lifting the turret aliviated enough pressure to prevent an absolutely catastrophic explosion that left very litle left even from the hull. Simply impressive but also tragic
