#2 Petty intense. Looks like the gunner took out an SA-6 SAM and MT-LB personnel carrier.

Sounded like an wheeled IFV similar our LAV-25 or Stryker. Couldn't make out the vehicle right at the beginning that exploded.

#4 Nope. The too small turret in off to the left, not on center line.

#7 Re #3: Badanov, I think you are right.

Looked at the pics at the link. They are clearer than the video and show a centerline turret. Looks like BMP-1 (no AT launcher on top).
