Similar Effects: Fougasse shell hit Shaped charge shell hit Shaped charge shell hit At the begining i considered this as some late effect of some mixed Shaped charge shell. Any Ideas ?

Griffin Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 It's the ammo cooking off. Meaning that the tank ammunition catches fire from the penetrated RPG and bursts into violent fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPTIDE Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Yeah, that's what it reminded me of. Yeah. UNless I'm wrong, all Russian unguided AT and ATGM, require direct shot to target. Probably cheaper, but the latest ones have incredible penetration. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
