Also see the video and think that tank wasn’t destroyed?
It’s not true. Tank is no longer operational. I will explain what happened.

In the picture you can see a flying ATGM. It’s certainly Swedish NLAW. (2/8)
The moment before an explosion. (3/8)
NLAW using proximity fuze. This is the overfly top attack (OTA) mode. The missile flies about one metre above the line of sight, initiating the warhead above the target's weaker top armour with the help of magnetic sensors. (4/8)
NLAW using a single dynamic compensated 102 mm warhead of approximately 1, 5 kilograms of HMX (HEAT). This is important. There is no secondary explosion, as for example Javelin has. The sharped charge projects a high-velocity jet of plasma through tank armour. (5/8)
NLAW targeted the place without strong armour and without reactive armour (6/8)
Destroying the interior, commander and gunner is certainly dead, driver should survive. You can see the flames from under the turret. Engine is still (temporarily) working, there is a bar between. (7/8)
Tank was destroyed. End (8/8)
