Israeli AT crew takes out Syrian tank. Pretty light show, but I wouldnt want to be inside of that tank.

Not a 'Syrian' Tank. Not Israeli AT team.

What you are watching is the test range firing of the Swedish 'Bill' missile, the target is a remotely driven/towed ex-Swedish tank (the type is unclear, but it is either a Comet or Centurion with some of the turret stowage removed).

Unusually for test shots, the tank is actually fuelled and armed, but the warhead effect is not 'augmented'.

Compare to the ludicrous 'Javelin test' where the tank explodes before the warhead impact

Ok, thanks for clarifying. But it's a pretty light show still.
