The Soviet-era T-72 Main Battle Tank (MBT) continues to prove its worth in the Ukraine War, showcasing its resilience and adaptability in ways that newer tanks, like the T-14 Armata or the American Abrams, struggle to match.
Western tanks are built to protect the crew, while Soviet/Russian are built to advance regardless of anything without much consideration about crew safety (typical Soviet mentality). The turret throw is due to the shells being stored right under the crew, beneath the turret, and when those detonate (which is quite easy with modern anti tank weapons), everything is thrown magnificently into the air. Crew has no way to survive. It’s different with western tanks, where shells are stored more safely and such a hit usually doesn’t evaporate the crew.
It’s hilarious that you’d regurgitate this nonsense when we have abundant evidence from over two years of war now showing that western tanks do not in fact protect the crew.

I hope you’ve made it out of russia, things are getting nuts there. I wouldn’t even be in georgia now if I was you.
You should put more effort into your trolling, it’s kind of pathetic to be honest.
