they sat there lining up the shot for a long enough time. An Abrams/Leo or Challenger would not even stop. They do drive bys just like in the hood lol
Nice Vid though

Something about that video doesn't look quite right. Is this a trick to see how many get suckered in? I also went to the original youtube
page and some folks were asking the same thing I was thinking.If this was /is real how did the camera survive?
I know I'm slow at times to catch on to a shenanigan when I see one but ....?

Nice pictures of the tank but the video is a fake.....in relation to the shell at least.

You cant trust anything coming out of Syria.

What I find interesting is the scrutiny this video has been put to on the world stage. Interviews conducted with tank experts wow. The thread on the you tube and blaze websites had some arguing about what type of round, was it a remote camera, how far away was it done, One M1 abrams driver said he had seen video of rounds where he could see the round, was it a photoshop, how did the camera survive, was it a live feed or not, the trajectory of the round where it seems to go past the camera, on and on it goes. It seems that no one was there and it was a remote because the accompanying prayers that you usually hear in the videos are not there. It probably is a fake, It still made me jump when I first saw it so I thought it would be fun to post it.

I could be wrong, but I thought a sabot round used fins to stabilize it's flight?

I believe also at the velocity most modern ( especially smooth bore) rounds travel you'd need a slightly better camera than your 'Droid or Brownie to capture
the round in flight...

And its a bit odd that the round actually gets sharper in focus as it nears the camera even though static objects nearer the camera than the tank are unfocused.
I give it three of four days before the original show up with no sign of the shell.......

I'd say the only thing you might see would be a muzzle flash without a special camera in a lab setting. but still pretty scary looking down the bore of a tank in a real setting. Think about it, you see a tank barrel pointing your way,
who's not running?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9M117_Bastion The Bastion is a Russian 100MM muzzle launched antitank rocket.....The 100 mm round resembles a normal 100 mm anti-tank round, and is loaded and fired in the same fashion. The round uses a reduced explosive charge to launch the projectile out of the barrel of the gun at around 400 to 500 m/s. After leaving the barrel of the gun, a small cover falls away from the window on the rear of the missile. The rocket motor ignites 1.5 seconds after firing the missile, and it burns for 6 seconds.
The projectiles use laser guidance. A cone of laser light divided into sectors is projected from the launching tank/vehicle/gun, each sector having a different frequency or modulation. The missile has a small window in the rear with a sensor to detect the modulation of the light. Using this modulation, the missile steers itself, maintaining its position in the cone. The laser beam-riding guidance system is less spacious than a radio command one, and cheaper and simpler than semi-active laser guidance. The missile is also not prone to radio or optical jamming.[SUP][1][/SUP] On the other hand, a target has to be tracked by laser sight all the time, and the system can not be used on the move.[SUP][3][/SUP]
The missile's flight time to 4,000 meters is approximately 12 seconds. After 26 to 41 seconds the missile self-destructs.
