American soldiers invented elaborate ruses to frag their commanders in Vietnam and have it blamed on the vietcong.

Russian soldiers simply beat up their commander then surrendered.

IMHO, tanks are just spg with shorter engagement range and a bit faster.

It frustrating as gently caress to see these videos of ukraine shooting at trenches point blank. Wtf are you doing with you tank that close? I get that there is a danger close element with rus arty but jesus. Weird trade off.

I'm open to interpretation!
I always did wonder how many Russians decided surrender and imprisonment was a better fate than carrying on the fight. I seriously can envision a significant amount saying "Yeah we give up. Give us your worst, it has to be better than what Putin will do to us."

The problem with that is that if you try to desert alone and your side notices, they are going to shoot at you and shell you on your way across the no man's land. And if you try to coordinate with the rest of your unit to surrender collectively, you may end up summarily executed because somebody snitched / overheard something. Etc

More than you would expect, but less than you would still think. Unfortunately Puccian commanders do their best to drive it into the heads of the mobiks (as discovered from propaganda videos as well as propaganda materials captured in the field by the Ukrainian military) that Ukraine will mercilessly torture and shoot them if they get captured, so death before dishonor is preferable. Beside this those who want to slip away and surrender are fired upon by their own comrades for deserting, and there's always the mischance of running afoul of traps in no man's land. A significant number of surrenders are often from the trench fighting itself where mobiks give up and allow themselves to be captured.

all modern tanks are death traps against modern weaponry, any safety measures are mostly pointless

That's not really true tbh. There have been a good amount of Bradleys in this war and other wars that have been hit by mines, IEDs, AT weapons where the armour has protected the troops inside. Sometimes they keep going or recovered and these aren't even tanks. Safety measures help...a lot.

It's also always important to remember those other guys have been trying to murder you for months. I have to imagine surrendering in a war is unbelievably terrifying. Especially if the average soldier on the other side has good reason to hate you, like you invaded their country.

The tank is CBRN-protected, meaning there is constant positive pressure in the fighting compartment. I would assume this removes the fumes. Also,

There is a solid wall between the fighting compartment and the turret compartment with no doors in it, there is no way to access anything in the turret from the crew area.

You have to keep in mind that the choice is less between fighting and imprisonment, and more between fighting and becoming part of the POW exchange fund. Which ends you back in the hands of the Russian army, and back at the front lines or maybe even under a sledge hammer.

Until we've seen otherwise, there's no proof that the existing Armata tanks aren't T-72s with an extra road wheel, sheet metal cosmetics, and a hole in the bottom.

russian orthodox christians are understandably feeling a little out of sync with their autocephalous leader and pope francis is more or less saying "if your current leaders are bastards, try rediscovering your roots."
