  1. The American air force knocked out large amounts of T-34/85 tanks with napalm during the Korean war (source: Armour of the Korean War 1950-53, by Osprey).

  2. I think one can have a closed bottle filled with chemicals. Outside the bottle you can have some paper or cloth fixated with a tie, rubber band duct tape or whatever. To me this seems like a safer way of doing things than just put a paper directly into the hole of the bottle and then set the paper on fire and then throw it. I mean by not risking the fire coming into direct contact with the fuel one does not take the risk that it ignites. And the effectivness of throwing it on trucks is the same - the bottle gets crushed, its flamable liquid content gets spread out, and the fire outside the bottle sets all the liquid on fire.

  4. To me it seems like there are no tactics and high levels of professionalism in this war. In this movie clip you see a Russian tank going in into a city without infantry support. A Ukrainian fires a missiles which just bounces off and don't detonate because the enemy tank is too close. And this is a clip of battle hardned Azov troops, so I don't expect other Ukrainian troops to be any more experienced. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BEPozYPdNk So bad tactics on both sides.

  6. "Would the tank not start to overheat quite severely?" You will not get a 70 tonnes monster warm with a bottle of gasoline. You will need hell of a lot of gasoline before you make that thing warm.

  7. They were trying to protect against NLAWs and Javelins, since those rockets knocks out Russian tanks by exploding above their turrets. A shaped charge explosion creates a stream of hot air which is welding through the amor, and then floods the interior with molten metal and raises the pressure so much inside the tank to an exploside degree that a bad mood inside is created as personnel and ammunition are flooded with burning metal and suffer from overpressure. It if course also helps that old Russian tanks have much of their ammunition stored inside their turrets to create a nice massive explosion.

  8. And those boxes are idiotic. Not only do they not work and fail to prevent the destruction of their tank. Theoretically they will only increase the chance that this jet of hot air will burn through the armor. Either are the Russians stupid and ignorant of this fact, or either are this box just a worthless psychological measure for the tanks to feel more secure - like allied tank men who feared Tiger and Panther tanks so much that they put logs, sandbags, bricks and extra steel plates on their thinly armoured tanks in the hope that it would allow them to survive a hit. Or how people today think that a stupid facemask will protect against something so small as a virus.

  9. 800mm penetration is more than enough to deal with any garbage that the Russians own
