Soviet-made tanks like the T-72 often suffer catastrophic turret explosions due to their autoloader design. Unlike Western tanks that store ammunition in blast-protected compartments, Soviet tanks place ammunition directly above or around the crew, increasing the risk of a chain reaction when hit. This design prioritizes a low profile and automated loading over crew survivability.
