Turrets on those T-72s traverse pretty damn fast, faster than I thought they did.

It does look like the BMPs track broke on hitting the edge of the pavement, like the reporter said it was probably already damaged by the RPG. Impressive that it managed to carry on so far with only one track. Russia stronk.

I think this is one of my favourite bits of Syrian footage:



On a more serious note, this footage is pretty spectacular, the way the tank brews up, but not just that, you can see the commander thrown clear just as the first flame shoots out of the hatch, and then as he runs for cover on the right hand side of the screen bullets ricochete off the wall behind him. One very lucky guy. I wonder if his luck has still held or whether he too is now a casualty of war.
