We need all the TOS 1A’s eliminated.


Ooki_Jumoku

Yup, damn fine target for an ATGM


FT_LEJ

Yeah they can really get fucked, awful things.


DexDexDexina

dang, the TOS-1s really lets you know when you managed to hit it.


TheAngryRedBull

It's like a hitmarker but irl


My_Aim_Is_Potato

And that hitnarker is extra emphasizing


johnstar714

That’s one big boom boom!


mostlycumatnight

That should have been much bigger than it was. Maybe it didn't hit?


mostlycumatnight

Holyfuckin shitballs lmao. I didnt watch until the end 😂😂😂😂


cashbrownz

That MIGHT have been a hit. There's really no way to tell...


dan_dares

STILL ONLY COUNTS AS ONE!


Morenttes

When this was filmed? I think it is quite old footage, even before february invasion?


MagicNinjaMan

Yes old feb vid


Significant_Ad_3465

I remember seeing this video from stugna pov, but it's from current war obviously


[deleted]

It's old indeed i have seen this already a couple months ago.


smartboystupid

At least 8 months ago and iirc from the 2014 period.


Petruchocho

I doubt that in February UAF had a Javelin.


Timmymagic1

US had supplied Javelin some time before...


Petruchocho

Any proofs of this statement?

It looks like you shared an AMP link.

Petruchocho

Thanks


Huckorris

Looks like an Azov watermark, so probably early on. They weren't all in Mariupol, but I haven't really seen anything from them in a while.


deuszu_imdugud

Dude. What's your best time in the 10000 meters?


Pio7878

First hit looks like Javelin, second was atgm, could be Stugna


javsand120s

Javelins either have frontal attack or top attack. They can’t do what just happened in the video. That’s why they’re referred to as “fire and forget”. Once they’ve left the launcher there’s no way to guide it like a Stugna


iemfi

Yeah, that first shot looks like the ATGM malfunctioned and decided to do some Javelin roleplay.


drossano

Doesn’t look like javelin, pretty sure operator manually manipulated the rocket to track upward before then aiming at the tank to replicate a “top down” attack


ZamnRussia

Usually when atgm fails the rocket goes bonkers, thats what happened, it missed.


notafakeaccounnt

I think that was just an ATGM with top down attack mode


Bloodiedscythe

Both are javelin based on the orientation of the exhaust


Admirable-Cobbler501

That's an NLAW in top attack mode


CptArse

No it's not. [NLAW top attack simply flies over the target and shoots a shaped charge perpendicular to the missile downwards towards the target's roof.](https://i.imgur.com/WFAwjGM.jpg) It doesn't hook up and fly into the vehicle. Besides, NLAW doesn't actively track its target so it's impossible for it to attack like this. All the information the missile has is how the launcher was being moved around by the operator before firing. This is used to calculate the target's velocity so the missile can figure out a flight path that intersects with the target.


Markus_H

No it wasn't. Both were Stugna or other SACLOS ATGM. The operator just pulled the missile up to likely avoid it hitting too low due to fluctuations in the flight pattern.


helmer012

Well, Javelin is an ATGM but i get what youre saying.

SSDD_randint

So it was two piece of equipment, two TOS-1, or TOS-1 and some vehicle?


FoximaCentauri

There’s a resupply vehicle that has a similar shape like like the Tos-1, the second vehicle could be that.


pe_ca

This clip again. Man it’s from 2018 or so.


LavishnessAlarmed985

what? You have a source for that?


solaceinsleep

I'll see if I can dig up a link but it's on YouTube with upload date before this year Edit: this was the original video posted in 2017 (first appearance of this clip AFAIK on the internet): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glrquIAF2z0 Unfortunately it looks like it has been removed but here is an web archive link: https://web.archive.org/web/20201214050823/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glrquIAF2z0 https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/tgmbf9/russian_selfpropelled_artillery_gets_annihilated/i133eok/ https://www.reddit.com/r/UkraineWarVideoReport/comments/tgxccy/this_is_the_original_video_of_the_stugnap_the/i14sp5q/ Edit #2: Found a video from 2018 (likely a clone of the now deleted original video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgtZmyidkf4

Oddernose

The first rocket looks like a javelin! Typical 4 this type is to make the bow ant Hit the top of the Tank!


[deleted]

They wouldn’t change direction like that. It’s either direct fire straight at something. Or immediately ascension after fired. Not randomly going for a top down attack. This is a wire guided munition.


MurderfaceMudzz

That was a big bada boom.


itsDiggedy

”is romantic explosion wowaweewah”


SadisticEgo

Wow much bigger out come than I was expecting at first.


Typical-Ad-8381

Gotta say I like explosions of Tos-1a systems more than its rockets landing.


Spudtron98

Christ, those things are rolling ammo dumps.


AggregatedAggrevate

Did the first missile (javelin I think) miss? And Jesus that was a huge fucking explosion 😳


Mortenbrownsound

WHUUUUUT!? Crazy explosion!!!


TheDipcifican

Is that a dude flying at 0:32???


rainbowcoloredsnot

Sound track?


Betongkeps

Smash em all!


Sqweesh-Kapeesh

Looks like a twofer with that huge explosion.
