Fsa cameraman and T55 almost hit by SAA ATGM before shooting
Video Overview & Insights
The sequence when the guy jumps into frame right after the RPG passes over his head is Legend, wait for it,
During the on-going assault on the military airport, a fsa T-55 is ready to attack. Cameraman leaves his camera fixated on the tank before it is supposed to shoot.
Suddenly you start hearing a whistling sound and at 1:13.0 - 1:13.2 [My screenshot is from 1:13.1] there is a projectile incoming that almost hit the cameraman (who jumps down after it passed over) and the tank.
BGM-71C TOW
They quickly take a shot with the tank before moving it from the compromised position.
First video is my cut-down version so you dont have to waste your time but the original is below so there is no question that i did not edit it.
Everyone talks about how outdated the T-55 is and while that's true, its still a tank carrying a big gun and has a lot of potential for upgrades. Everybody thinks a tank is supposed to be able to sit there and take hits, any tanker will tell you that their first priority is to not get spotted and if spotted, maneuver to not get hit. The armor is the 3rd or 4th layer of the defensive onion (Look up Nicholas Moran and his onion theory of tank protection), so its actually a pretty low priority. The T-55 (and its clones) is fast enough and is armed with a powerful gun. Set up with modernized sensor and rangefinder upgrade packages, it can fill the role of a light tank adequately.

@harryboo121The one guy jumps into frame as the rocket passes. It was like he was riding it to reinforce the tank.
@CombatIneffectivethe guy jumping into frame after RPG passess:

Guys in the tank:
- ok but what's the hurry man... it's not like if we are getting shot at
