Russian T-72B Eats Javelin Hit For Breakfast And Keeps Driving

T-72B withstood a hit from Javelin anti-tank systems.

In the video from the copter, two Russian tanks are trying to enter the village of Kamenka. It was back in July. Ukrainian militants attack one of them with a Javelin anti-tank missile and hit. Despite the impact, the tank, controlled by a group of fighters from the NM DPR, turns around, starts moving, but stalls. It took the driver just a few minutes to fix the problems, and the T-72B continued to move.

As you know, it’s not enough just to pick up this American ATGM and shoot - you need to be able to use it (this is its main disadvantage). But, apparently, the VSE workers did not have time to train, or their Western colleagues trained them poorly.

It is worth noting the T-72B itself. His Soviet armor withstood the blow perfectly, the crew survived and even made it to the base on their own. The body of the tank was not significantly damaged.
