Images showing Russian tanks flying meters high on social media marked the Ukraine-Russia war. It was claimed that the reason why Russian tanks flew meters high with a single blow was a design error. “Any hit that causes a reaction will fire the ammunition, causing a massive explosion and the turret literally blows up,” adviser Sam Bendett of the Center for the New America Security told CNN.
“CHAIN TRIGGERS REACTION”
Experts said, “Unlike Western tanks, Russian tanks have the capacity to store up to 40 shells in the arsenal located just below the turret. So a hit or blow triggers a chain reaction that causes this ammunition to fire. “This design flaw causes the turret to blow up and the crew to be trapped in a fireball.”
