Captain here. Tanks rounds have a sort of an mechanism in them that makes them explode. It works by "measuring" how much armor the ammo has penetrated, and once it reaches a tresshold, let's say, 14mm of steel armor penetrated, the shell will explode. Now, this car is probably 5mm thick on a good day, so the round will just go through that, without reaching the required tresshold for it to explode and will just exit the car from the other side and continue on its merry way. In the business we call this "over-penetration". So if the round doesn't physically hit any of the men inside while it is passing through, they are most likely ok. Now, if the tank would have used detonates-on-contact high-explosive shell, we probably wouldn't be watching this video.

what the fuck.I didn`t know humvees are so stron/russian tanks so weak

It's hit by a 30 mm btr round. They're talking about it before heading back to the humvee

Short translation, one of the soldiers recognizes a tank or something similar in the distance and then tells his comrade. He immediately gives the order to withdraw.

Wait, we can actually hit something. I've been here for a while its the first time i see it happend

At first I was like "your humvee might have autism" but then finished watching the video. God bless(no matter which one) the engineers who make those marvels.

So.. no airbags?
04/10/22
Yeah... No, if its a tank that humvee would be scrap already. Prolly BTR or something

Too many MF commenting without even watching the video

Is it that M4 rifle ? Godspeed Ukrainian brothers.. kill em all
04/10/22
It’s heartbreaking to see the russians survived

Did it pass through the windshield and between all three of them, then out the back? If it did that's fucking insane

Is this a Ukranian humvee or a Russian one? I need to know if I should be happy or disappointed that they survived.

If they used APFSDS shells, a HUMVEE has a lot of empty space and no armor. It would go right through it
04/10/22
Probably apds, pretty much just a metal dart. If it wont hit crew or engine, it wont do much. If it was he or heat, they would be screwed. Luckily it wasnt

Btw, they all speak russian. This again show the absurdity of this war and how full of shit putin and ruzzia is. I mean, look how oppressed russian language is that even in the wartime people speak russian on the ukranian side.
