    At 20 seconds we see the reactive armor detonate, likely preventing the RPG from doing much of anything.

    At 21 seconds it cuts to immediately before, not showing any aftermath, effectively confirming.

    Thank god they can add “slick editing” to make the video have some production value else it would just be “another Israeli tank survives an RPG strike” video.

      This is a direct strike on the back of the tank which is the Merkava weak spot. The reactive armor is on the side.

      You appear to believe the IDF is invincible or something. There are plenty of videos of these tanks in destroyed aftermath state.

      A cut after showing a massive explosion definitely is not “editing”.

        No I don’t believe they’re invincible I just am pretty capable of see and calling things for what they are.

        Ineffective is ineffective

            Which holes?

            Show us these holes.

            It’s the clear and deliberate lack of aftermath from all your footage that tells the tale my dude.

            I wanna see the IDF tanks with holes, please show me?

                Neat, thanks.

                Positive ID on the vehicle type anyone?

              Had a good video I posted on the previous combat footage sub of an IDF broken tank yard when there was a doubter like you. IDF soldier filming massive holes and burnt tank insides. People got cooked in thst thing. This was almost a year ago. Might search my comment history for it later but the sub got deleted so not sure if the link there works.
