What is the device being dropped?
A HEAT maybe?
I am trying to figure out how the targets survived a direct hit long enough for the balance of the video.
maybe one of these?

Oh, could I use a 6 pack of those. My war with a bunch of beavers chewing on my trees would be quite entertaining with a bunch of those,
Question for anyone with actual experience - If you engage multiple AFV's, do they really sit motionless and just take it like that? Dug-in Iraqi forces excluded, of course.
Depends on your unit SOPs and drills, seems the RU vehicles had not posted sentries or working with attached infantry at the time of their being shot up. At least "do something" by either firing or moving, or both. Getting dug in(?), complacent and shot up is obviously the wrong way to have your day go. I am counting about seven seconds of flight for the rockets so the firing point is a good ways from target (a target rich environment).

By the sounds of it, Russian troops aren't the cream of the crop either. Stationary armor is a sitting duck.

I'm going to have to master posting these things, 
but this is too good to pass up. Especially the comments section.

I saw that interview earlier today, and a few other bits and bobs of reporting in sources that have been, generally, pro-Ukrainian, that are starting to paint a bit of a different picture from the dominant narrative of massive Russian incompetence being constantly smacked by brave and highly skilled and competent Ukrainian resistance.
The Eastern front in the Donbas region has been a bit of a meat grinder, for both sides. Nothing particularly imaginative from either team, just static front-lines, with artillery dueling and attrition warfare.
"I am not an expert," but it would seem to me that Ukraine still wins that fight, in the long run. So long as the NATO countries keep their nerve, and keep pouring material in, the logistics are turning increasingly in Ukraine's favor, as Russia burns through their (admittedly immense) stockpiles, that sanctions have made nearly impossible to replace. Even Russia's tank production has ground to a halt.
The meat grinding waste of life in that kind of warfare, waiting to see who's will and/or supplies run out first, is something I would have hoped had been relegated to last century. All the more sad when you think of the fact that this is exactly the sort of conflict that NATO could sort out in a week or so, if they went all in - if it weren't for the risk of things going nuclear if they tried.
