FSA RPGs versus two Syrian Army T-72s

Description
This is not a political clip. Please keep that stuff out of here. I thought you guys might like it though. It's a pretty intense video. Those T-72s take the RPGs like a boss.
P.S. I probably would have crapped my pants when I saw that turret turn towards the camera through the smoke from that first RPG hit...
at 03:15 theres a dude behind the first tank, wonder what happened to him after the RPG hit.
T-72 has strong frontal body and turret armor. They were probaly hit with "PG-7V" or maybe with "PG-7VL" If they were hit with "PG-7VR" I doubt they would survive it. But T-72 was and always will be an awesome MBT.
holy **** after each hit the tank stops for some time i guess the crew really do feel the blast in those T-72s.
Guys that is only the T-72A, which eon older than the other versions !!!
That old Dolly-Parton composite armor and 1e ERA gen. tiles are doing good job still !
I saw a video of a T-72A take a serious hit from an RPG-29 at the back of its turret, but I think it didn't survive, at least the turret didn't pop-out like the old Iraqi T-72 clones. A lot of fire came out from the back and than some ammo cook-off happen and than that is all.
Iraqis had three types of T-72s, Russian "monkey version" T-72 were they lacked a lot of things, Iraqi copies of the Monkey version T-72s made out of spare parts bought from other countries, and finally home-made T-72s called "Assad el Babil", which are copies of the copied Monkey version T-72s (these were the ones that had their turrets fly into the air).
It was safe to say the Assad el Babil tanks were horrible, and gave a bad name to actual T-72s (edit: All of the Iraqi T-72s gave the real T-72s a bad name).
Yes that is absolutly true !
acctually the t-72 is a terrible tank
its a mass production tank to crush you're enemies with high numbers of tanks
the t-72 , t-90 t-54/55 and t-62 are meant to be produced in high numbers quantity over quality
and the t-64 (never exported) and t-80 are quality tanks
tanks to face the best western tanks
Sir, if you don't actually know what you're talking about, kindly sit down and shut up.
Less Allahu Akbars more aiming.
here another video that shows how a t-72 is being blown up
