From what I can tell, it's a US Javelin missile on a proving-range with a "procured" T-72 (higher-end Russian Main-Battle Tank).

Keep an eye on the first explosion and all the tank turret/hull pieces shooting out side-ways! :eek2:

The 3rd scene, the tank's there one second... gone the next.

It is an awesome video clip, but I've been told that it was partially staged. The T-72 was packed full of explosives to make a more impressive demo. Either way, the Javelin is still pretty bad ass. :banana:

I heard the same rumors about the explosives when it first came out, but, yes, it is still pretty impressive/lethal as Mark#2 can attest.

Laney's 2nd younger sister (Aeronautical engineer with an MBA) is a Project Mgr. with GM/Rolls-Royce/Allison in Indianapolis and oversees missile/jet engine "stuff". She can't/won't answer ALL the questions I ask her about her work.

Here's another crazy one if anyone hasn't seen it... F15-SubLaunch (http://www.punchbaby.com/media/gitfakt/clips/cool/planeWaterLaunch.mpg) :eek2:

I want to know how the HELL they fabbed that .mpeg up ! :confused:

Now, this one is my current favorites! B-52-POD-Boom (http://www.punchbaby.com/media/gitfakt/clips/cool/BOOM.wmv) :bows

Crank up the volume!
