Russian tank is beating PUTIN's war of aggression with its many design flaws | Update on the war of Russia and Ukraine on April 29.

A Russian tank whose front end was blown off is just the latest sign that Russia's invasion of Ukraine won't go to plan.

Thousands of Russian tanks are believed to have been destroyed since Moscow launched the attack, and British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace on Monday estimated it had lost up to 580.
But Moscow's problems extend beyond the number of tanks it has lost. Experts say the battlefield images show that Russian tanks suffer from a defect that Western militaries have known for decades and call the "boost effect". Moscow, they say, should have seen the problem coming. Huge flaws in their tank that PUTIN didn't even notice.

The problem is related to how to store ammunition of the tank. Unlike modern Western tanks, Russian tanks carry multiple shells inside their turrets. This makes them very vulnerable as even an indirect hit can start a chain reaction that blows up their entire stockpile of up to 40 rounds.
The resulting shock wave could be enough to blow up a tank's turret as tall as a two-story building, as can be seen in a recent video on social media.

“What we are seeing with the Russian tank is a design flaw,” said Sam Bendett, an adviser with the Russian Studies Program at CNA and a senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security. .
"Any successful hit...quickly ignites the projectile causing a massive explosion, and the turret literally explodes." It could lead to a spreading explosion, setting the whole convoy on fire if marched close together.

Nicholas Drummond, a defense industry analyst specializing in land warfare and a former British Army officer, said.

Design flaws with the country's tanks will make Moscow particularly uncomfortable because the problems have been widely reported.
They attracted the attention of Western militaries during the Gulf wars against Iraq in 1991 and 2003, when a large number of Russian-made T-72 tanks of the Iraqi army suffered the same fate. - turrets blown out of their fuselages in anti-tank missiles. strikes.

Faults are hard to replace.
And these losses aren't just about equipment. When Wallace, the British Defense Secretary, gave an estimate of 580 tanks lost to the House of Commons, he also said more than 15,000 Russian servicemen had been killed during their invasion.
It is difficult to know how many of them are tank crews, but it is doubtful that these crews are not easy to replace.
Aleksi Roinila, a former tank officer in the Finnish Self-Defense Forces, said: “Training a tank crew can take a minimum of several months and even 12 months can be considered quick.
And it would be a tall order for Russia to replace hundreds of crews at this point in the war - especially when the tanks it is slated to use again are so flawed.
PUTIN is making fatal errors with his tanks, causing Russia's war to fail miserably in Ukraine, despite Russian numbers outnumbering them.
