 | Russian tank turrets get blown off with regularity and the reason is a design flaw known as the “jack-in-the-box”.
The fault is related to the way Russian tanks hold and load ammunition. In these tanks, including the T-72, shells are all placed in an autoloading ring. When an enemy shot hits, the ring of ammunition “cooks off” and ignites a chain reaction, blasting the turret off the tank’s hull and vapourizing the tankers. With up to 40 shells if fully loaded, the Russian tanks will blow their tops with extreme gusto every time. |
