Well, I realize what I forgot to add on my last post; my brain was telling me what to write but my fingers were ahead of the thought.
The "
lesson" I was trying to put across was the importance of
mobility while attacking a target bigger than you in a combat situation which the video clearly shows.
Move, Shoot, Reposition and
REPEAT.
The video clearly shows the
Bradley(s) was firing
DU rounds (Yes, I posted they would get them. They received them last fall.) where they hit the ground and the
T-90M.

From Ref 1 (Ref 2 discusses this as well.) Para. 2: "Unlike tungsten, uranium is
pyrophoric."
And the video also shows smoke coming out from the
T-90M main gun and not from firing it as it runs into the trees.
And it doesn't look as though the crew made it out as well since the Ukrainians like to show the Russians "
scurrying about" out of armored vehicles etc. when attacked.
Upon review of the video again it looks like two crewmen got out on the right side of the tank. Those "
white lights" on the left side of the frontal arc of the turret is definitely the signature of DU rounds and not a Tungsten round.
I was surprised to read from my Marine Buddy that the
LAV-25 didn't use the DU rounds in combat in Iraq as "
JAKE" showed me pictures from his crew of him loading the dual feed ammo belts.
HOWEVER, AS I FOUND THAT STRANGE, I FOUND THE FOLLOWING...
The
LAV-25 used the following against heavier armor as taken from
Page 1-3 of the below referenced.
"M919 Armor-Piercing, Fin-Stabilized
Discarding Sabot With Tracer (APFSDS-T)."
It has a DU Penetrator. DATED: 19 December 1997/SIGNED BY: J. E. RHODES

Based on your earlier post and comment, might this change something now for you?
A
T-62 is no
T-90 and you saw what the DU rounds did to it.
DU rounds would "SHRED" a T-62 in a heartbeat.
