The FPV drone files over the "Tulip" and then turns 180 degrees to attack it, almost like they wanted to warn them. If not they should choose a better attack path next time.

Apparently that EFP is travelling at 2000m/s (Mach 6) and can penetrate up to 140mm of RHA. They don't provide the weight of the EFP.

(This might be all wrong and not how it works.) If the search radius is 100m and search angle is 30degrees the triangle would be a=173m ("height", not accounting for angle), b=100m (search radius), c=200m (longest distance, not accounting for angle). I don't know if it looks like a ~200m distance or not.

I love the video production quality.

(Supposedly) the aftermath.

This. Presumably the same person who is originally responsible for this video. It'd be better if they stopped.

The artillery shell or rocket would have to have been fired before the vehicle stopped. It doesn't directly hit the white vehicle. It could have been a targeted assassination or an (un)lucky hit.

Blew the top of his head off.

It's strange to me that they didn't aim for different people.

What would you do if someone was live streaming your checkpoint? Probably should stop short of kidnapping them, maybe call the police instead. You definitely shouldn't lie about it after as there's cameras everyewhere.

“Guilty officials are subject to disciplinary action and will be transferred to combat units, where they will be able to direct their strength and power to fight the enemy.”

Cold.

Still close enough to cause gimbal to stutter for a split of a second, but it’s quite delicate piece of technology and pressure wave from the missile can cause that quite far away. True. If the proximity fuse had exploded it might have taken out the drone.
