Serb tank takes a missile hit.....

Not trying to short shoot anyone, this looks very much like a training range shoot. A single tanker advancing like that would be an idiot. The open terrain looks like a firing range. The position the missile fired from looks like a range. The tank would have seen the missile fired and returned fire or deployed smoke.

I gotta say, the newer generation missiles are so much more accurate. Old timers like me were in during the days of the LAW. I was not a fan of the LAW and never liked them.

By the time of fall of the Berlin Wall, we were/had swapping/ed to the AT4. When they were fielded I got a 45 min instructional course with it and a few times of walk through the steps on how to fire it. 18 months later I put that ad hoc training to use.

I can personally attest to the accuracy and effectiveness of the AT4 out to about 300 meters. I will say that the time from firing to hit to cook off seems like a lifetime and these films don't show the pucker factor that can go with that. I swear it seemed like 10 sec before cookoff occurred after the hit but once it did, the effect was total destruction.

Oh btw, I am also not a fan of the RPG-7. Individually, I do not find them accurate at all but what it lacks in quality, it can make up in quantity.

Yeeah I had about the training still went the range and shot LAW that day. 2 years later they had this training for AT2 with 9mm tracer in it so you can get lead ad sight pic. it was totally irrelivant.

Yeah, that's a range setup.

I saw this some time back and, IIRC, it's a British missile test.

I fully agree. Those little (comparatively) suckers pack a nice punch. It made a quarter sized hole in the front of an M60 hull at approx. 250 meters. Thats was a good day.
