Well those guys in there are toasty now.
Russian BMP's seem to have weak armor.
Props to the man with the RPG, even training can't be that perfect. Feel bad for the crew though, must have been a horrible death.
Actually, looking at it closer I think its a BTR-60

pretty quick compared to other ways you can die in war
That was really good footage.
Do they know how to say anything other than Allahu Akbar?

It had tracks, it might have been a BMP, but I'm not sure what other Russian IFVs/APCs have tracks.
The driver also floored it as soon as the ammo cooked off, you know he lasted a few seconds in that.

Did it have tracks? Looks like it had 4 large wheels

Watch the front end of the vehicle 3 seconds in, it's sloped like a BMP-1 and as it rolls down you can see multiple smaller wheels.
Of course on Facepunch we'd argue over what model of APC/tank it is.

What else would we do?
"Yup. It got hit by a rocket."

[QUOTE=blah2;36244148]Did it?[/QUOTE]
It was clearly some sort of explosive device. What we should really be asking is, was it a rocket or a [I]missile?[/I]

A missile is a guided rocket pretty much, so no not a missile.

Actually that is probably one of the less painful ways to die. From ignition to explosion it's like 3 seconds, and then you are sure to be dead (to difference from most other ways, seeing as even if you get all your limbs blown off you don't die straight away).
