Why? It’s good training. More interesting than shooting at plywood as is the norm.

I am surprised it wasn't filled with sand,as were range targets in Graf.It would be interesting for a camera to be mounted inside to show the interior spalling

You can definitely see the effects of the spalling in the second video posted. Little flecks of paint missing all over the turret interior.

I was surprised to see the commander's hatch all distorted and warped out like that too. Unbelievable energy being transferred into that Leo 1.
