I believe this is the T-72 exploded view

@ElwoodBlues Very good! Hopefully by one of our challenger 2s 😏
@BritishFailedAesthetic Here's google's "AI overview"
The Russian T-72 tank has a well-documented design flaw known as the "jack-in-the-box" effect. This flaw stems from the way the tank stores its ammunition, specifically the proximity of the ammunition carousel and other stored rounds to the crew compartment and the turret's interior. A hit to the turret or hull can easily ignite the ammunition, leading to a chain reaction that blasts the turret off the hul

Because of that flaw, a fairly low tech rocket can trigger the blast that separates the turret. In addition to the relatively expensive US Javelin, cheap Ukrainian Stugna-Ps can destroy the T-72; even some rocket propelled grenades can do it.
@ElwoodBlues Thanks for that, really fascinating info! AI gets very specific which is great for hobbies of interest!
