It says that the video came with a commentary, which is pasted below. That commentary is the part that is written in regular lower case... and the comment about taking a leaf out of the Israeli book is a part of that!<br /><br />I am no fan of the Israeli approach to security. It is based, I believe, on a misplaced sense of victimhood and paranoia.Broadswordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13076780076240598482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-78929331186184706632011-11-24T22:55:19.979-08:002011-11-24T22:55:19.979-08:00Oh really?

As someone here has quite accurately pointed out, there have been no Israel-Syria tank engagements since the Yom Kippur war.<br /><br />Then I put on the video and the tank shows up... quite clearly not a T-series tank, but an old, Vickers-type box.<br /><br />Then the ATGM is fired. So much for the crap about it being some top-secret, highly-controlled Israeli weapon.<br /><br />So it was obvious to me that this was an internet fake. But thanks to this very aware group of visitors for telling me what this video actually shows: a Swedish test. I really wanted to know that.Broadswordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13076780076240598482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-77841724719227961902011-11-24T21:20:01.416-08:002011-11-24T21:20:01.416-08:00Wow, its like Diwali fireworks on an moving tank !...Wow, its like Diwali fireworks on an moving tank !

If at all, there is a territorial dispute between Isreal and Syria, it is the Golan heights, which I don't think even Isreal claims as it's territory. And no, this doesn't look like any "Syrian" tank which tend to be T series tanks with rounded turrents . <br /><br />This probably was a video from a weapons test on a real target. But yes, there is a lesson in this on what a small hand held weapon can do to T series tanks with ammo strewn all over the place and in the carousel loader and not stored in blast proof containers with blow off doors. The ammo will cook off like what happened in the tank that was hit. Works for nice Hollywood style special effects and great marketing, but I wonder how it will be if the same weapon is used against a well protected tank with ERA and ammo in blast proof containers and top rated armor.. like for eg against an Abrams with DU plating or a Leopard A6.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-32002577614461627092011-11-24T19:53:50.572-08:002011-11-24T19:53:50.572-08:00This is an old video of anti tank missile test, wa...This is an old video of anti tank missile test, watch<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-9G1R8wO5w<br /><br />I think the story about Israeli military is BSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-568163873529333462011-11-24T19:08:13.580-08:002011-11-24T19:08:13.580-08:00"The result of the hit on a fully armed tank ..."The result of the hit on a fully armed tank is spectacular".... is all that is said.

From the meandering of the missile before impact, it appears to be wire guided. The missile appears to ricochet off the turret after impact. The subsequent fireworks seem to happen OUTSIDE the tank and not inside it, suggesting activation of ERA panels. From the silhouette of the tank, it is clearly not a T-55 or a T-72 and so it is not likely to be Syrian at all. Maybe it is a Merkava or a Leopard series, I am not sure. The video is definitely not what it is made out to be.pmukherjeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-26868755257079851202011-11-24T17:37:27.178-08:002011-11-24T17:37:27.178-08:00sir,
