This is pretty hard to believe. Drone view starts doing a backflip higher and almost directly above the first tank, 2nd clip shows a projectile come in at a much lower angle and way out of frame from the left. And since when did drones start launching rockets? Let alone do backflips then launch them?
Are they trickshoting now?

looks like the shaped jet misses but the HE still contacts the vehicle
Ignoring the fact it might be spliced footage, it brings up an often forgotten problem.
Shaped charges, unless specifically designed for damage, inflict light damage when hitting lightly armored targets, lest something vulnerable/flamable is hit by the jet/fragments within the target. A BTR or BMP has too thin armor to significantly disturb the jet, and the thin plates will generate less spall.
While modern shaped charge jets can remain very coherent even after meters of flight, old PG-7 variants will start to dissipate after a few meters in the air, turning into a cluster of high velocity fragments.
This effect can be useful in some situations, such as the one seen here.
Instead of having the equivalent of a needle zipping through wet tissue paper, doing little harm, the vehicle now is being hit by a spray of jet fragments, potentially inflicting greater damage.
This spray of fragments would be like light summer rain for an MBT’s thick armor, but for a BMP like tincan it will be hail from hell.
Sorry but this was either a newbie operator getting confused about the controls or some jokster that does not take his piloting job very seriously, why would risk your kill for a dumb backflip?
If you fly FPV, rolls, forward flips and backward flips are the easiest thing. You just hold the right stick all the way up, left, down or up. And if you keep your throttle stick up, the quad won’t even lose any altitude.
There is only skill in them if you do this while looking at the quad directly without goggles, because then the orientations change and it takes skill to level it out again.

[Some of the newest HEAT warheads are getting the option to intentionally turn the liner into a spray of fragments instead of a coherent Jet. Here, an older “Multi Mode Warhead” can be seen.](https://man.fas.org/dod-101/sys/smart/docs/locaas_Industry_Day/img014.gif)

we got the first real 360 trickshot before gta 6
