🔴 Ukraine War - Russian T-72 Tank Survives Close Ukrainain NLAW Ambush During Combat In Mariupol

An intense video from Mariupol shows a Russian T-72 tank surviving a close Ukrainian NLAW ambush during combat in Mariupol.

It seems the ambush failed because the NLAW was fired from a to close range from the tank.

Normally NLAW missiles have an arming range of about 20m for safety reasons.

What we get from the footage is that the missile was fired from a to short distance and the missile had no time to arm. Only the fuel went off but the warhead did not explode.

The tank started to burn after the hit but was still intact.

The crewmembers of the T-72 only had minor injuries and went back to action after a day long break from the fighting.

There was an interview with one of the tankers released in Russian.

To add more context we tried to translate it and included it to the video.
