Unbelievable Marksmanship by a Pakistan Tank Gunner

Good shooting but not unbelievable.

With LRF an intelligent gunner can achieve such kills

that's a type 59 tank. It was designed and made in 50s, I think this might have a LRF though, nevertheless this 4 decade old metal can still shoot accurately that's a surprise to me.
 
superb fire....seriusly its like sniper.. one shot one kill

This is good markmanship. But we have to ask how many bulls eye did the gunner achieve in 10 shots. I can also have bulls eye by chance may not be a good shot. You have to have consistency and show that you can hit the target in 10 consecutive shots on different days with varied weather.
 
Lol, When he first said allah u akbar, i was like, ISIS has tanks?
we are bombarded with that kind of footage now we don't have good imagination over hearing 'takbeer'.. similary when we see beard we imagine negative images only.... too bad ...

True.
those cowards have ruined the image of many things...
 
You seem to know what you are talking about, any time in artillery or armour?

It is rare , more so when the target is uphill with no way to apply corrections when the round goes over the target.

The Gunner fired an HE round and I suspect he did it applying corrections observing the fall of shot as is done in tank gunnery.

The tank gun can be used like an arty gun when the azimuth indicator is used.

Besides the gunner its the tank that needs commendation - Good T&A of its gun & linkages.
