Depending on the explosive that should not help. Shaped charges are most effective if they explode a little distance away. It might help if it is a shrapnel based explosive.

Still you wouldn’t probably need a shaped charge to penetrate the armor on a BMP-2 which may explain this approach.

Edit: looking at it more, there is some kind of external armor assembly on the sides, but it doesn’t look like ERA tiles.

That’s fair, I honestly don’t know if that would have occurred to me.

Seems like a dangerous thing to do in range of UA drones.

Thanks, appreciate it!

What is the row of pixels in the middle of the video for? Some kind of watermark?
