Korean War Footage Shows T-34 Strafed by Navy F9F Panther

Gun tape video stored in a historic archive shows a gun run against a T-34 attempting to cross a bridge. The platform flying the mission is a Naval F9F Panther.


Given the date that this footage was recorded, I'd say it's pretty much crystal clear. You're taking a serious look back in time with this one and watching the moment a Grumman F9F Panther disables a T-34. With the guns it's using, it's unlikely that the crew inside of the tank was seriously injured, and even more unlikely that the tank itself was completely destroyed. That said, it probably was still a mobility kill on the vehicle, and that's only if a second Panther didn't come in right behind the first to continue the barrage.
