Finally, an explanation of those ridiculous-looking cages the Russians were improvising atop their tanks: trying to defeat first-stage shaped charges in a top-down attack. I suppose it’s too early for an analysis of their effectiveness, but from the footage we’ve seen, I suspect they don’t work well at all.
Solid video. Direct and to the point, no fat or melodramatic music.
The same rocket provided by the CIA, used by the Mujadeen aka Osama Bin Laden, against the Russians in the 80s. [Charlie Wilsons War](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0472062/)
The fact that this weights only 22kg means a lot. Ukrainians can move infantry with those via unpassable (for vehicles) terrain, fry a couple of armor and get the fuck out before anyone reacts.
For comparison: Ukraine designed Stugna-P weights almost 5x as much. On the other hand it’s also cost 5x less and is controlled remotely from a tripod, so safer for the operator during firing itself.
This entire channel is absolute gold just for everyone’s information. I’ve watched practically every one of this guy’s videos and he covers all sorts of engineering topics from buildings to planes to hydrogen fuel cells.
Right at the beginning: Saying Ukraine was a peaceful democratic nation before Russia invaded is just awfully wrong and almost insulting.
Ukraine had a semi-civil war and a violent revolution in 2014…and then immediately had a continuous 7 year internal conflict where tens of thousands of people died in its eastern borderlands before Russia invaded…
Ukraine was anything but peaceful before Russia’s full invasion.
EDIT: To dear downvoters. Even the major mainstream news outlets did documentaries, articles, war correspondence and stories of the ongoing conflicts in eastern Ukraine all the way through 2014-2022. Maybe stop reading only the headlines at /r/worldnews.
Kind of terrifying how it barely shoots out, then propels itself farther.
Honestly when I read the title I thought of this

This is straight up propaganda advertising weapons.
The same rocket provided by the CIA, used by the Mujadeen aka Osama Bin Laden, against the Russians in the 80s. [Charlie Wilsons War](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0472062/)
and it costs an arm. IIRC a missile costs 80K$
So this is basically to Russian tanks today what the Stinger was to Russian gunships back in the 80s.
Imagine if we put as much effort into colonizing Mars as we did optimizing high-tech ways of killing each other.

No use of tanks
Now I want to give this bad boy a try on COD 😆

Really interesting. How do you even start to research things like this
I wonder how the chinese knockoff version of it compares.
designed in 1989 and still destroying the most modern armor
