Death of a Tank

Notes
This DTV image is almost definitely from very close range, probably between 2 and 3 kilometers. You can see three crewman on the top of the turret of the tank, and you can also see the Hellfire missile about to impact (the white dot at the very top edge of the screen in the center of the picture). The reason this picture is so grainy is due to repeated copies of the tape. The view through the DTV camera was definitely much better than this. You can also tell that the gunner is tracking the target manually, since there are no target tracking brackets around the target. Note how simple it is to identify threats at close range during the day, as compared to identification of targets at night with the FLIR and at long range.
