The Free Syrian Army (FSA) published two videos, showing the Russian-made T-72B tank of the Syrian Army, struck by the TOW 2A anti-tank missiles.

Two video, showing attempts of terrorists to destroy the Syrian T-72B tank with the TOW 2A anti-tank missiles, were published online by one of the armed groups of the Free Syrian Army (FSA). The videos were filmed during the last fights for Aleppo.

Militants claim that the tank was totally destroyed. However, we can clearly see that in one case the missile hit the front part of the tank, while in the second case it just touched a small earth mound in front of the tank. In addition, last seconds of one of the videos show us a crew, leaving the tank after the hit. The fact that terrorists stopped to record the further developments right after the hit also says that the tank remained intact after the double shelling.

Due to its dynamic protection system, the T-72B is considered as the third generation tank. Its serial production was started in 1985. The main weapon of the T-72B is the 2А46М 125-mm smoothbore gun-launcher. The tank is also equipped with fire control system and complex of guided weapons.
