Supposedly the same tank from a different angle, personally not sure. Either way, a Russian tank exploding:

Bizarre how close you can stand to one of these things being fired.

I'd agree the second video is of a different tank exploding.

  1. The cloud of dust left behind the tank's tracks in first video looks much longer.
  2. The first video doesn't show the very obvious smoke grenades being launched.

Aside from that it's cool to see the Javaline in action.

I think it's annoying that streamable no longer seem to have a mute audio button.

Well done! Make the invaders fuck off behind the border!

It looks like those just plop out of the launcher and then launch. Pretty wild.

Yeah, it's one of the neat things about them. They have that soft launch so that the backblast from the motor is vastly reduced when near the operator. Enabling you to use these in significantly more locations without blowing out everything around you.

They are easily my favorite infantry weapon.
