Looks like he has a PGO7 on it?
If he knows how far away they are then sure he can hit that far. Still pretty good.

>>34654864
>Is this legit / possible?
Of course it is. It's called knowing how to properly use the weapons given to you.
I still don't know if it's a skilled or lucky shot, but not anywhere near impossible.

ITT : OP is used to videogames combat distance (50 meters)

battlefield when you get an RPG hit at 200 meters

>>34655875

RPGs usually detonate after quite a short distance, shorter than in this video.

>>34654864
Are they going to walk back after filming their car explode?

>>34654864
The PGO-7 is graduated to 500 meters. So, if it's within 500 meters, then it should be no problem to make that shot in calm weather.

>>34654864
What are sights OP?

>>34657264
900 meters. This is definitely less than that.

>>34657264
wrong.

During the Afghan war against the Soviets, the Mujahideen perfected anti-helicopter tactics by luring these into well placed ambushes, from which multiple RPGs would be fired at them in volleys. The Mujahideen found that a frontal shoot at 100m range was the optimum, but helicopters at longer ranges, 700-800m were also attacked; by using the explosion of the rocket's self-destruct mechanism, although chances at this range deteriorated substantially. In order to get close to their targets, insurgents would lay ambush to hovering helicopters, by hiding RPG gunners in tree tops overlooking landing pads. The Al Qaeda technique, found in captured documents in Afghanistan, used to shorten the warhead's time fuse, resulting in the warhead detonating much earlier in an air-burst, making it a highly effective and cheap weapon against low-flying helicopters

Your lower paragraph does nothing to say that it is wrong.

Man... That's pretty clever.

The sights one RPGs arent that accurate and RPG's themselves arent very accurate either.

>pic related RPG scope reticle.
they are not quality and the shot is kinda impressive.

>>34655235
MY SIDES!

>>34657345
This was the technique used in Mogadishu to down the two SuperSix birds. One of Aidid's cheif rocketeers was a returned Mujaheddin fighter, if I am remembering Bowden's book correctly.

>>34657445
The US is really the best at getting poorly thought out ideas to come back and bite them in the ass years later.

>>34657406
did you find a PGO7 at an antique store?

Are you guys retarded? You can clearly see when the video cuts to another video, showing another type of weapon system that detonates, probably some sort of laser or wire guided by the looks.

Is this video here wizardry?

>>34658473
That video is some fake bullshit

>>34658473
inside of the car soaked with gasoline, warhead didn't detonate, sustainer motor ignited fumes

>>34657406
That 2 on the top left looks like a fucking question mark.

yeah, it had a pretty good surplus section.

it also had some really old guns

>>34659613
Damn that's awesome. I like going to antique shops and browsing, you can find the coolest shit sometimes. Gotta watch the prices though, sometimes it's like old hoarders use their stall as an extra place to keep junk and put a huge price tag on everything. Other times the seller seems to think since something was valuable decades ago it must be worth like 10x that price now. Other times it's like the kids set up a stall and just try to sell anything for any price, like it's an estate sale or something.

>>34657264
The fuse detonates 16s after activation wich translates into something like 1200 meters.
It's a safety feature that a skilled oeprator can actually exploit - like the Mujahideen did in the 80s againts the soviets.

>>34657445

I thought that they had just been taught to aim for the tail rotors.

RPG-7 manual says 4-6 seconds.

>>34661468

Yes but the grenade fired in OPs video is not a regular one.

It's called panning and zooming at the same time retard. Poor Houthis don't have enough money for two cameras.
