Quoted: Caption: We can confirm that a OFZAB-500 high-explosive incendiary fragmentation bomb (500kg) were recovered.

Stop a javelin? The idea was to pre-detonate the javelin so it would not penetrate to turret top armor, like an RPG cage on a Stryker, but it doesn't seem to have been well tested. |

View Quote in theory it prematurely initiates the warhead which with a single shaped charge like a standard RPG HEAT round can be effective, but AFAIK the Jav has two HEAT type warheads to deal with this very issue as well as reactive armor. |

Quoted: Caption: LNR forces* (Note Z marking) lost multiple vehicles today, precise location unknown, in Luhansk. Two destroyed BMP-1 along with another burning BMP/MT-LB based vehicle can be seen along with two unarmoured vehicles, although their relevance is unclear. 7:38 AM · Mar 5, 2022 · https://i.postimg.cc/zBzBZskx/FNFu9ea-Xo-AMj-OAi.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/qMh7TX8H/FNFvi-Ia-Xo-AYoi-WF.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/LsT9TyML/FNFw-F-y-Xw-Ag-Epgi.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/8zgTV8pL/FNFw-JVPXo-AY4zi-M.jpg * LNR (????´????? ????´???? ?????´?????, or Luganskaya Narodnaya Respublika) translates to Luhansk People’s Republic, a separatist controlled region of Ukraine that is pro-Russian and fighting with regular Russian forces against Ukrainian national forces.

View Quote I doubt that the first warhead in a javelin will blow the armor aside but if the first charge goes the second goes and an extra meter of stand-off isn’t saving Ivan. Would help against an RPG-7 I bet. |
