Dropping your weapon while engaged is always a great idea, much like needlessly leaving cover slowly to get to the awesome extra cover you get from the front seats.

Also bullets go through car doors right? I thought the only good cover was the engine block.

Also I want someone to do that in a moving car and get their skull smashed in by the door.

Cars are really, really lovely cover. Bullets not only penetrate nearly every part, but get randomly deflected by just about every surface. The only good part of being in a car during a gunfight is the mobility you have if it's still running.

Think about how easy it is to get your car damaged by someone hitting it at 5mph. Now think about a small bit of metal flying at supersonic speed hitting it. When they show bullets not killing people in cars on TV/movies, it's only because its hollywood.

Turns out sheet metal thinner than what you can buy at Home Depot doesn't stop bullets well. Who knew.

To keep it 'even', they can use their attached mortars but no other inderect or CAS. It'd still be like a Harlem Globetrotters game, though. Just look at what a company of Rangers and a CAG squadron can do in a day with nothing but some little birds and humvees.

So in the official Russian MoD video they edited it to try and make it looked like it hit:

Video from the ground shows it was a clear miss

Weird Left Twitter. He's not crazy, just trying to find purpose or something. His posts might look crazy but that's just "irony posting"

Truck was probably stuffed to the gills with HME so a jav would touch that poo poo off no problem. Also it could be my imagination but I'm pretty sure you can see the motor still firing as the munition goes top-attack.

the missile pretty clearly misses between 5 and 6 seconds into the video. i circled the last spot i could identify the motor/guidance flare on the missle. note the missing black smoke puff.



at 13 seconds in, there is a puff of black smoke, not present previously, presumably from the miss.



edit: i could see how i missed what you're talking about. there was, per the twitter comments, a second missile. i thought people were saying the first missile hit/killed it.

Yeah I was talking about the 2nd shot, not the 1st which clearly missed and was the basis of the whole "french got your back" joke.
