If you go frame-by-frame at 0:45 you can see that the flash of white (the actual warhead) happens at the corder of the tank so the solder launching this NLAW missed the target. It's also unclear if the NLAW was set to direct hit or above the target mode. I think for this close distance, it should have been configured for direct hit mode especially when you're shooting the tank from above.

@tyroneemail NLAW has too modes and the one where it explodes the warhead downwards doesn't depend on speed so it doesn't matter if it has time to accelerate or not. For the direct attack mode the speed might make a difference.

@marekfalk5369 You can literally watch SAAB videos at youtube to have idea how NLAW should be operated and this was an example that didn't follow those instructions.

Had the armored vehicles carried one mortar and a couple of dozen grenades, this would have been a blood bath for the Russian troops.
