Double taps are a relatively recent tactic to defeat enemy armor defenses.
Just because a vehicle isn’t a tank doesn’t mean it can’t kill tanks. Thanks to guided missiles and anti-tank warheads, vehicles such as the new Bumerang fighting vehicle can stop tanks dead in their tracks—even if they have to use two missiles instead of one to do it.
The video below was taken at the Russia’s Army-2018 expo held every year outside Moscow. (Yes, it’s the same event that featured the giant, golden egg-shaped robot mockup.) At the 2:20 mark the video shows one of Russia’s new Bumerang 8x8 wheeled infantry fighting vehicles on the exercise grounds. While moving the Bumerang launches two Kornet EM anti-tank guided missiles in quick succession. The missiles zip downrange and impact against their target, an old 1960s-era T-62 tank.

So this system has multiple small improvements to overcome smart defences, namely
1) non traditional flight path (parabolic)
2) non traditional flight pattern (strongly vibrational)
3) two, close consecutive firings
What it doesn't have, and what I expected, is sequential explosions at same impact point (first load to deform, second to penetrate)
Still, quite cool..but the concept of overloading defenses is old as the Greek :)
It's boomerang,comrade
Spectacular!
Da, da.. vodka we drink and then drive unsafely and hack elections, comrade :))
By the way. .that flight pattern was definitely developed while drinking. Probably a test that went all wrong until it went really right
When one is succeeding how many failed?
Give'm credit folks. They come up with some interesting weapons and equipment.
