Yet, this does not look like a Javelin attack .. very close .. seems too close ..


video of attack starts about here:


From the left .. looks like a fire coming out .. like a flaming baseball thrown ..










The projectile flight path seems very short and "ballistic" ( that is like you throw a baseball up in the air .. )

Perhaps some sort of RPG round which is super heavy??

Top attack mode - to circumvent the reactive armour around the body by penetrating the more vulnerable turret.

Yes .. still I thought a Javelin would travel faster ...

Too accurate for a "ballistic" trajectory. That had to be computer guided, and a good shot, too.

I wonder what caused the Russian retreat all of a sudden.
Maybe Ukraine got a new weapon shipment, with which the Russain cannot handle.

from my understanding Russia moved too many troops to other sectors in an attempt to hold on to Kherson and Capture Donbas province .. thus left too few and under experiences troops in the Kharkiv province ( Oblast )

Russia without mass conscription is short on manpower to complete it's goals.
