The 128th Separate Mountain Assault Brigade soldiers showed in a drone video the consequences of the NLAW anti-tank weapon strike. Just a reminder, that Ukraine received several thousand of them before the russian invasion.
"The cumulative missile penetrated the T-72's armor from above and destroyed the target, the crew was instantly annihilated. The tank burns from inside, the smoke goes even through the barrel of the gun. Then in a few seconds ammunition detonated, the enemy T-72 exploded and its turret was torn off and thrown a few meters away”, the report says.
