128th Separate Mountain Assault Brigade stormtroopers destroyed Russian T-72 tank with NLAW anti-tank missile system

The Brigade reported about it, informs Espreso.West.



 

"The tank was hit by an NLAW anti-tank missile system made in Great Britain and Sweden. The cumulative action missile pierced the T-72 armor from above and destroyed the target; the crew died on the spot", the report says.

 

The video from the drone shows the wrecked tank on fire from the inside, smoke even goes through the gun barrel. A few seconds later, the ammunition detonated and the tank exploded, its turret was torn off and thrown a few meters away.

 

"The exciting night video of the Russian tank explosion which was burning in a forest is more spectacular than any computer graphics of Hollywood blockbusters. It shows the real amazing power of the NLAW anti-tank missile, which, together with the American Javelin and the Ukrainian Stugna, has become a real horror of armored vehicles", the Brigade added.
