If the Russians ever invaded I'd like to think we all would know what to do! Hence, I've made a simple guide for taking out Russian tank convoys.

The tank would have no room to rotate its main gun turret in the narrow street. Which is where this will take place btw.

In the hypothetical situation that you would be spotting a Russian tank convoy and that you would just happen to be in an AT-squad lurking in the bushes (or in a building), yes, you probably should take out the first and last tank of the group. However, unless you are really fast, expect to be killed directly after the first rocket has been fired.

The T90's turrets can be set to automatically spot and fire upon a heat-source (your empty RPG-tube), so an instant death is on the menu.

In other words, if you spot a tank convoy, let it roll and notify the company/platoon by radio (I'm making the assumption that your squad is on a scouting mission). If you spot only one single tank, have at least two rockets firing simultaneously at it, between the turret and the hull. The turret will start turning as soon as you fire, so be quick to throw your used up bazooka as far away as humanly possible after firing and get your rifle ready as the crew of the tank will soon climb out (if you manage to get the tank, that is)

1. The turret gun would cut thru the buildings like a hot knife thru butter.
2. The tank could level houses without even firing its gun.
3. They’d level the city if there was any resistance, with bombs and artillery before they send in tanks.

First of all , Russia won't invade any European\Asian\American etc countries as it will lead to nuclear war where there will be no winners as everybody will die from nukes .
Second , Russia don't use SU-122 . They are out of service in 1950's
Third - if the shit ever happens ( war I mean ) , before tanks come in any city\village\whatever it will be tacticaly nuked .
Fourth - where are you going to get Milan or Javelin launchers ?I bet army will give civilians any high tech weapons , so chances you will get anything unless LAW-80 are pretty much low . And LAW-80 can only damage trucks of modern MBT's - no armour penetration capability

you'll just need one AT guy a medic and a support to take out a convoy, that way you can revive each other and have unlimited ammo.

Ahhh the classic "ambush the Russians" technique taught at military acadamys all over the world.

Definately need a four man squad to do that effectively. AT guy, Machine Gunner for resupply and two medics, one to revive the other if one gets hit and to keep a good stock pile of medi-packs coming.  If all else fails, call in arty support from the commander and hope that he awake.

Nice diagrams by the way. Made me smile.

Everyone knows that the best way to take out a tank is by putting C4 on an ATV and ramming into it. Then while the other tanks are crying about your low tactics, you respawn and repeat.

You got pretty shitty training, dude.

That's pretty much the same tactic that they teach in any military school on how to attack on a convoy...
If I might add also to booby-trap the other side of the road (opposite the attackers) with claymores and napalm-wire.
That's pretty much 1on1 of infantry against a convoy...

Simplified of course...

And yes I've served in military... (that's last of that matter I will discus)

I don't think that would work because even if the tanks get screwed up, the force of the blast would cause a building to come down on you and the backblast would kill almost everyone 10 meters away from you. Also, unless you are really fast, you won't be able to take out more than 1 amour due to the fact that:

*almost all tanks can survive a hit from a at rocket, unless it is a javelin or a TOW missle.

* usually, there are at least 5 (I think) tanks/ APc in a convy, if not more. So even if you take out a lot of tanks, you won't be able to destroy an entire convoy yourself.

* A human can't take more than 3~4 missles at once. Even with a ammo holder, I don't think you will be able to carry enough to knock out so many tanks, with the exception of the javelin and TOW.

*(most important) Not even a drunk and drugged guy will give you a AT missle launcher. Who in the hell would give you a missle launcher??

It would only really work if you fully ambushed it, rather than spotting it, grabbing your rocket launcher and popping away at it. You would have to know when and where this convoys going to be and prepare an attack prior to their arrival.
You could lay mines down to stop the lead vehicle, and then have people located high up to avoid maximum elevation from the gun of the tank they are shooting at. As for backblast, you could use the AT-4CS launchers for safer use in a room. Being high up means you can hit the weakes point on a tank which is the top of the turret where the armor is thinest. You would also have to remember to move the second after you fire your missile to avoid being killed. That's what I think, but I'm not in the military so I don't know the best way.
