Each of those turrers weights like 17 tons and was tossed like a toy. Absolutely brutal

A thing of beauty, like seeing a rainbow on a misty morning.

Is this the best one yet? I think it’s a close contender for the top spot. Crazy hang time and effortless tumbling, amazing.

Catastrophic is the correct term goddamn. I can’t imagine anyone willing to buy Russian tanks after all this. Though even after Saddam’s Lions of Babylon countries still find 3 dudes to hop in these rolling craters.

It’s a winner only if the turret lands upright on top of what’s left.

Did it have *extra* ammo on board?

They won’t be forgotten, literally, they’ll end up in some ‘Russian Turret Toss Top 10 Of All Times’ compilation.

Someone in NCD calculated it at 105 meters based on a 7.7 meter total gun and turrent length.
Someone else went one step further and calculated the takeoff velocity at 164 kmph.
Then a third guy calculated the direct energy transfer to the turret required to launch a multi-ton gun system 300 odd feet into the air as equivalent to 16kg of tnt.
Once you get over the aircraft fetishes, NCD can provide some very origional insights.

Overall Score: 9.5/10
New record holder for the highest turret toss
Turret toss Olympic champion!!!
Video is slowed down, makes calculating the height difficult. Does look high though. 8 seconds is the highest I have [seen](https://www.reddit.com/r/UkraineWarVideoReport/s/zeuK1Ket03)

I think it’s by far the winner
Oh…a new contender
Fellas, we’ve seen some fine turret tosses past couple years, but that’s got to be tops.
7.6 from the East German judge
Half expected three chutes to come out as it re-entered the atmosphere
Wow that was seriously impressive, it’s worth offsetting the carbon footprint to see a display as good as that . 👍👍
Does T U stand for Tits Up? Because it sure looks like it’s tits up to me.
i think i saw the pop out hatches go so the crew should still be alive and healthy 🙂
10/10
The Ukrainians are starting a space program launching satellites
Those Russians are such show-offs (Look at me! Look at me!).
I need someone smarter than me to do the math on that turret toss, we need to know where it ranks! lol
