Not sure if we have similar vulnerabilities in our tanks, but this is interesting anyway.

Interesting. Even worse than losing tanks is losing tankers. A year to train? Wow.

The Russian tanks use an autoloader. One of the reasons they do this, is because it takes one less crewmember to man their tanks.

But it puts their ammo up in the basket...
