we have no knowledge of the situation other than one lost turret and one ran away. How was the line of sight, at such short distance it's a straight hit, not from the above as preferable, how many Javelins/LAWs the team had in total (you need one device per tank), what was there out of picture (something to protect maybe) etc. Or, maybe there was another team down the road waiting for the escapee to return (meaning that that was a trap). Main thing is that a 170k€ missile took out an MBT worth +1M€ plus a trained crew which both are hard to replace for the Russian criminals. Money very well spent
