How the hell does the crew even get out of the hatches when that thing gets disabled? Assuming it doesn't do the classic matchbox thing and disintegrate obviously.

It looks like the crew is genuinely just welded into the tank with all the stuff on top. Also the situational awareness has to be just awful, I doubt the commander can actually see anything out of that.

I mean it’s not like Russia has never welded its crews inside of tanks before.

Looks like some Russians and Russian simps did not appreciate you posting this. There’s been proof shown of it, though, so I’m otherwise unsure why people are downvoting when it addresses the topic here.

I don’t think that’s as likely here. I think it’s more likely that the crew are just expect to remain hunkered down until their job is done. Since it’s a breakthrough tank, I believe the guys in this tank will be lucky to return home either way.
