Looks like some sort of shaped charge, something similar to this, and it looks like he pointed the business end of it right towards the turret ring.

Decent chance that that thing took out the tank on its own, actually, if it was pointed the right direction and was the right distance (not too close, not too far) from something vital.

Historically the flat end of anti-tank grenades like that were magnetic so they could be stuck to the tank with the right stand-off from the armor, but maybe that doesn’t work as well today? Or more likely nobody expects to place a demo charge on a tank anymore.

If you want something you don’t have to reload every two weeks, look for "Vinegar - Tube Cleaner" on the app store. It’s just a Safari extension that replaces the video player on youtube.com with a bare html5 video tag, which prevents all the Google fuckery from loading (including ads).

Yep, DSU-33 is the prox fuze for the Mk 80 series, looks like the DSU-33 D/B variant is specifically intended for JDAM.

Air burst fuses for Mk 82 bombs (the ones usually fitted with JDAM and used by Israel) are also very common.
