Turret Tossed Then Explodes... Again
Published 1 years ago
Wild footage shows a crippled Russian T-64 tank getting struck by an anti tank guided missile (ATGM) resulting in an insanely huge explosion... but wait, there's more. The tank's turret is blown high into the sky and as it lands there is an immediate explosion. It's not clear what caused the tertiary blast, possibly the turret landed on an anti tank mine, or it's possibly the round in the chamber of the main gun barrel cooked off.
The footage was reportedly recorded in the Marinka area of Donetsk in eastern Ukraine.
