The reason is simple, the "Crossbow Cannon-8" Heavy Anti-Tank Missile utilizes a cold launch principle driven by high-pressure gas, and only ignites the engine after it has left the launch tube.
As a result, by the time the engine emits visible light, the missile had already left the vehicle and traveled several dozens of meters.
This design was specifically to keep the Cavalry Chariot concealed.
Over ten seconds later, a deafening roar arrived.
Clearly, the sound of a tank cannon firing is exceptionally loud.
Ding Zhennan clearly saw that out of the several shells fired by the Iraq tank, almost all landed directly in front of a Cavalry Chariot hidden behind a dune.
Moreover, that Cavalry Chariot hadn't moved at all.
While launching the missile, the Cavalry Chariot had only exposed its turret, and the vehicle's body was hidden behind the dune, making it less likely to be hit by shells.
To start moving could possibly result in taking hits.
