They know how to use a antitank missile, but they don`t know anything about camera`s.

I mean, there must be a rock in the desert to put your camera on.

How does aviation fuel reacts when hit by a shaped charge? After the initial detonation there seems to be little side effects or secondary explosions. In AFV's there is sometimes a ''filler'' in the fueltanks to prevent explosions/fire when hit by this type of weapons but in an aircraft I can not imagine this because of the extra weight/space inside the fueltanks. BTW it looks like an AT-13 Saxhorn-2 missile which they use.
