Forget about a junked out car. How about a 45 ton Soviet T-72 main battle tank.
REAL DAMN COOL!!!

That sums it up pretty good.  Now...where can I get one of those....(both the tank and the missile--Tank would look real good in the university lot here)

What type of missile is that?....Is the tank becoming obsolete?

I first thought it was a TOW, but the file says Javelin vs T72 so I assume it is a Javelin.  [:)]

Yes, the missile bring fired is a Javelin man portable anti-tank buster. The missile weighs only 50lbs and it uses a kinetic energy penetrater instead of a shaped charge.
The tank in the video was destroyed from a distance of 4000 meters!

Now that was impressive. 50lbs? Doesn't sound too man portable.
