Footage has appeared on the network showing how an Azov militant (* an extremist armed formation banned in Russia), holed up in one of the high-rise buildings in Mariupol, is firing at a T-72B3 tank of the Russian army. The militant uses the NLAW anti-tank complex delivered earlier to Ukraine from Britain.
Seeing a small flame on the turret of the tank, which arose after a shot from no more than 10 m, the militant lets out a scream, confirming what kind of armed formation he represents. However, the euphoria of the militant was clearly short-lived, because the Russian tank continued to move without any special problems.
As foreign military analyst and blogger Zaid Hamid writes about this, this is "the worst advertisement for NLAW":
It is noted that the T-72 dynamic protection probably triggered.

This video also confirms the tactics that Ukrainian militants are trying to use in Mariupol. They occupy buildings from where they are trying to fire at Russian troops and armored vehicles. Against this background, it can be assumed that the fate of the militant after that shot was predetermined due to the fact that he himself gave out his firing position.
