When you are in the bulding on the 1 floor you can throw this cement sack on tank what go on the streeat near bulding. You must aim in air inteke and when the sack drop on tank should crack and cement should fill air filters and tank can't drive should be easy to destroy.

Apparently, heavy armor or not, it can be quite easy to disable a tank or any heavy AFV
while it is on a peacekeeping mission.
This is an important point because all the steps you can take as a civilian or someone looking inconspicuous enough require that the targetted vehicle will hold fire.
This applies mostly to vehicles used in checkpoints or street patrols. I think that examples of this happened in Bosnia or in several African countries.
If you have an impressive enough civilian-looking angry mob (there again, one the hapless troopers will be reluctant to cut down if they don't have non-lethal equipment), all you have to do is outcrowd the tank, climb on it as good as you can, and with casual weapons such as crowbars, wrenches, hammers, etc. you can quickly enough tear radio antennas out, break lights and more importantly optics, disable external weapons...
One bucket of water or mud into each air intake should make the engine's day too, not mentionning the NBC filtration system which the guys could use in a tear-gas-heavy crowd-control environment. The cement bag is a nice addition I hadn't heard about, and even if you lack the altitude to crash the ventilation grids, you can still pour the cement itself own the ducts (or in the fuel tank if you can break it open).
Meanwhile you can either club the crew to their death, wrap them up and take them away for further use or let them run away, depending on the political context.
And yes, a Molotov cocktail can be a nice touch, provded you have room enough...
