Fatal mistake: Russians leave tank hatch open and enemy storms in

fatal mistake: russians leave tank hatch open and enemy storms in

Small drones, which have become formidable and widely used weapons in both camps of this horrific war, are usually equipped with hand grenades. Explosive charges that, if thrown with precision, can cause great pain.

Ukrainian drone pilots skillfully handle these devices and regularly manage to "drop their charges through the open hatch into the enemy tank," Korii media report. Knowing the risks, why do the Russians deliberately leave the hatches of their tanks open? Forbes magazine asked itself the question and came up with a few clues.

A shell of less than 50 euros can cost the enemy millions of euros. That's a lot of damage, which should make Russian forces extremely vigilant. Unfortunately, they often face a difficult choice. And it is Forbes who points them out: to avoid boiling or suffocating in a poorly ventilated, cramped tank and to escape as quickly as possible if they are immobilized by mines, soldiers opt for the sunroof because the hatch is incredibly heavy and therefore difficult to close and open, Korii says. The result? Child's play for the Ukrainian drones that emerge.

Aware of these shortcomings, the Russian military is increasingly equipping tanks with wire mesh to protect the hatch.
