Oh right, we're talking about Hesburger's dip sauces specifically. That'll teach me to read the thread while half paying attention to a work thing.

In general BBQ is a very popular flavour in Finland, as is sweet chili. But now that you mention it I've never tried either flavour as a Hesburger dip sauce. Paprika or curry 4 life.

Originally from 1980 or thereabouts, unsure which variants and upgrade packages the ones in Ukraine are rocking. Taking on an MBT in one is definitely a scary prospect because the Bradley will not survive a hit from a T90's gun, but the Bushmaster is no joke. It's insanely accurate and at those ranges eventually it'll find some weak spot to punch through, doubly so if the crew of the MBT are morons who decide to turn their side to the Bradley at close ranges.

E: and the video does not show anyone dying FYI. Googling reveals that the crew of the T90 bail out at the end in the full video.

Yeah honestly you’d need a decent crew to stay cool and return fire or at least not panic and drive into a ditch

Yeah I can't imagine being able to function coherently at all on the receiving end of 25mm fire. Just being on the shooting end of that much firepower can scramble your brains pretty good, much less being inside a steel box getting pounded by all that kinetic energy.

This footage, from the left of the engagement with clear video of the smoke grenades cooking off, came out later. There's another angle from the right that goes longer; after the cookoff it's lit up from the side for a while, the turret enters what looks to be uncontrolled rotation to the left, it slowly drives into a tree also seemingly uncontrolled and several crew are seen bailing out. Those clips have cuts so it's not entirely clear what order they happened in (it might be hard to bail out while the turret is rotating).

And then there's footage of a drone destroying the abandoned immobile tank as others have noted. That T-90 is definitely dead. The crew is only probably dead.

Somewhere in Russia smoke rises above a T-14 Armata. Have its engines miraculously sprung to life? Electronics replaced with magic and wishes? Its endless problems resolved? No! But burning the hardware and grifting the budget have been proving successful at keeping the heat going in the winter.

These two things are correct along with other facts. If you can button the tank with fire, you can force the tank to stop, while also possibly disabling its optics and defenses. This can allow a follow-up with a TOW.

Opening with a TOW can result in a miss or possibly setting off any protection measures (smoke launchers, ERA, dazzlers, turret aligners, etc.).

Yeah makes sense. With the fire rate and the accuracy (and the advanced aiming systems that stabilize the gun insanely) I'm sure you can just blind a tank in no time flat. And then mess up the tracks.

I'm sure it probably loving SUCKS to sit inside a tank that's getting peppered with 200 25mm rounds a minute, setting off the ERA packs (well, assuming your commanding officer didn't fund his dacha with them), loving up the optics, just hammering the steel hull constantly. Maybe you were told that the rounds are unlikely to penetrate your tank, but how much do you want to trust that? Do you even remember that? And his buddy is firing at your engine, your sides.

Like heli when encountering small arms fire from below, I don't think even the professional tank crews want to stick around to see if their opponent finds somethings that does penetrate the armor.
