T-62M hit by an AT missile in Syria

One of the T-62Ms recently delivered by Russia was hit by an AT missile. The sequence below shows how it hits the side of the turret. It seems that the impact was on the BDD armour, minimising the penetration. The crew members inside the turret are able to evacuate the vehicle

This type of attack has been repeated numerous times during the conflic. The tank is used a pillbox and rebels are able to get close enough to fire a missile.
