Don't knock it, it's a time tested strategy. First they throw the demoralized conscripts at you, then progressively stronger enemies, then at the end you fight Robo-Putin.

Does fire like this really damage a pure metal machine like a tank? I’d think it was pretty much fire proof from something that’s burning out pretty quickly.

The goal isn't to melt metal with some gas. Covering a vehicle in fire can damage its engine, tires, blind the drivers, melt other equipment, if you're lucky it can make its way into the crew compartment via tiny cracks (much like water, that is on fire).

Russians have also been demonstrating such low morale lately that they’re abandoning vehicles over nothing.

I'm reasonably certain there's also a video filmed from behind that one, and you can see the fire burn out almost immediately, so Imma go with no.

Fire tells the invaders to go home. Even if it does nothing it’s got to be demoralizing to know that even the civies are willing to throw fire and gas at you

I would have thought even a hand grenade going off at that distance would have spiderwebbed his windscreen That’s something that has surprised me in many of these vids — I see these things land a few feet from cars and it appears nothing happens to them unless they hit directly. Hell, that tv tower took a direct missile strike and remained unscathed. I mean, I’m sure this stuff is lethal, but it sure doesn’t look like it.

I would have thought even a hand grenade going off at that distance would have spiderwebbed his windscreen Those weren't anti-personnel in the sense that they were loaded with shrapnel. They were definitely close enough to break the windshield if they had shrapnel in them. To me, it looked like maybe mortars going off, possibly smallish artillery. This "feels" similar to previous experiences I have had.

Hell, that tv tower took a direct missile strike and remained unscathed. The broadcast tower is an impressive image. From what I have read, it was built well, that is why it still stands. Explosions are strange. We see images of craters and think that is most explosions. Those craters are formed by huge bombs, think hundreds of pounds of explosives. A grenade is less than one pound of explosives. So there is a huge sliding scale of destruction when dealing with explosives. This will often skew our perception of videos like this. I assure you, he felt those explosions and his rear end in a top hat was very puckered.

Even mortars and small artillery should be doing damage at those distances. A quick Google tells me the "oh poo poo" radius of a 60mm mortar round is 10-15 meters which is like 33 to 50 feet. Those blasts definitely look to be at least that close and that car looks like it got away unscathed.

Hell, that tv tower took a direct missile strike and remained unscathed. Depending on the rounds, they might not have the concussive effect, or shrapnel payload, necessary to do that. As for the TV tower, yeah it took a direct hit, but the construction of the tower is robust. If anything, you can see the inherent strength in those towers in that the pressure and explosive capacity of the bomb vents "harmlessly" out the open slots.

Hell, that tv tower took a direct missile strike and remained unscathed. air flows where there's the least pressure israel found out that casualty numbers from bombs in busses dropped if you kept some windows open so unless the car gets hit from fragments, it requires a big bomb or a very close hit to shatter the windows

Is it possible there's also just something straight up faulty with Russian munitions at a large scale? Not enough that they're unable to level apartment blocks when they want, but more than just a handful of duds? It'd have sounded ridiculous to me a week ago, but given some of what we've seen and the corrupt and rotten nature of their military, it seems plausible.

If the thing goes straight in and embeds itself to some degree before igniting, could that have a limiting effect?
