Almost can hear someone yelling in the background; ALLAHU AKBAR! ALLAHU AKBAR! ..Allahu akbar?!?.. ALLAHHH AKBARRRR!!! >:)

#3 Ain't sure about that, but in full length, video continues rollin even after the explosion. (i) http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=743_1383193292 and also this is for you guys #4 & #5 ;)

"A ballistics expert with over 40 years' experience working around the globe has said the video was almost certainly fabricated.

Francis Lawton, a graduate of the Royal Military College of Science and Army School of Ammunition in the UK, said the footage was undoubtedly faked as there was no way any camera being carried in an armed conflict would be able to capture such a crystal-clear image of a tank shell.

As the projectile fires it almost saunters through the air straight at the camera before exploding in a cloud of dust. The trajectory of the shell, travelling in an arc, is not probable considering the velocity (speed) of the shell."

Everything in life is becoming more and more expensive/valuable. The only thing that is loosing its value is human life. Human blood has lost it's value.

It does look fake, but I don't think it is. Zoom of the shot seems consistent with the time it takes for the round to travel. It should be crystal-clear because the projectile really only moves towards the camera and down a little bit. It basically is stationary object relative to the POV of the camera.
However, it is still most likely staged or at least a decoy setup. But either way, it is a good reminder to all of us, what war feels like to those who live it every day.

My impression is not that the tank shoots at the camera. That doesn't look like muzzle fire to me. Also, tank ammo does not have fins! https://encrypted.google.com/#q=tank+ammo+images

Rather, the tank itself suffered a hit, and some part of its equipment flew toward the camera. It's a fluke that this part didn't tumble through the air, and that it just happens to look like a projectile with fins.

#6 mentions that the ballistic path is not consistent with a high-speed shot, but it would be expected if the object is impact debris flying off at relatively low speed.

#11 There are tank shells with fins, this one for example
