The autoloader looks exactly the same on the t-72 and t-90. Do they both also have the ammo run in a circle around the turret ring?

The autoloader looks the same because the T-90 is a T-72, it was originally designated T-72BU. But then the Gulf War happened and err 'damaged the T-72 brand'. So they renamed it.

The T-72 "brand" was damaged because our gunners were whacking them at 3-4 km while their rounds fell in the dirt.

I'm pretty sure the same thing happens to M-1 tanks when given to Arab countries. Which is to say that the Russian missiles proliferating wildly everywhere were designed for the purpose of blowing them up like so

Gotta have room to fit 3 guys.

The new Armata is hilarious, though. Its big deal is that it puts all 3 crewmen in the hull with an unmanned turret for maximum protection. But the turret is even bigger than the past T-series tanks and bigger than pretty much all Western competitors, so it's still a fuckoff huge target. And the crew is almost totally reliant on cameras to see outside.

In that 3rd Abrams clip, is that a 173rd patch I see on the loader?

IIRC the export Abrams is really loving bad, and lacks all the high tech poo poo and chobham armor so it's probably at about the same level of a T-72. It also could be one of those M60's with the M1 turret on it.

At least assuming the missile hit the ammo compartment and the interior door was closed there's something of a chance that the crew survived

why is there a hatch on the T72 and T90 by the breech of the gun that opens? Ventilation? Doesn't look like theres a casing to eject.

Do you mean the hatch that opens during loading? There's a little nub of casing that doesn't get consumed during firing. When the autoloader is activated (you have to actually hit a button to start loading), it flips out the case.
