I thought it was a bird disturbed by the noise or an insect closer to the camera?

Turret weighs about 12 tons and length ot barrel I’d about 25 feet - meaning it was thrown about 250ft into the air…

About 2m 20s in… https://youtu.be/ZsiHlmJ9myg Looks like the turret off a BTR (or similar) or possibly a Gvozdika so considerably smaller and lighter. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....c72793c7a5.jpg |

That's one heck of a bang, shortened post of the same tank Wokkafans has posted, look how high the turret goes. another view of the tank in clip two but from above. The poor buggers wouldn't of had a chance, at least it was quick.
That's what I think too. 13km from Russia and 80km from Ukrainian forces (not including Mariupol) |

Is it just business as usual, don't bother me I won't bother you in Ukraine? Or was this tank just parked in a side street and not part of the battle. Just got taken out by a UAV spy ? |
I remember Sven Hassell. Great books.

There seems to be a bit of dust of the road to the left on the view from the film crew, which could be either dust from traffic or artillery, but when you look at at the shot from a drone no dust visible so that must be out of shot, so I think my money would be on a drone strike. As Nutlose says they would not have known much about it luckily. Cheers Mr Mac |
That’s a heck of a lot taken out in one spot.

I don't think the 2 tank explosions are the same from different angles - where are the vehicles, so obviously close on the street level view, in the top down one?

They are not the same - the aerial view clip is from a while back. |
K thanks for the heads up.

MQ 9?
Back on 13 April Forbes and Defence Post reported that Ukrainian officials were in discussion with General Atomics to purchase MQ 9s.
Certainly would be a useful addition for the Ukrainians. However, everything seems to have gone quiet. Security or has the sale been blocked? Does anyone know anything? |
