To those who've said it "failed" to intercept either top one or both since there were still part of the RPG kept going after interceptions. You guys probably didn't know how RPG/top attack missiles works. The RPG warhead(the bulging part) is a shaped charge explosive. It would have to directly hit the armor to produce a stream of ultra hot molten metal to penetrate the armor of the tank. If the warhead exploded prematurely, more than likely it would not produce that molten metal stream to kill the tank. the part that didn't get intercept and hit the side of the tank was the propellant of the RPG, they are not powerful to penetrate the armor since they are design to push the warhead. Curious to see how it handle top-attack missiles like Javelin or hellfire tho, since those don't have to make contact with the armor of the tank to produce the kill stream.
 
Those serving in tanks know very well their fate if hit or struck by IED's.
