Munitions storage is a hazardous endeavor. Russian tanks involved in the 2022 war against Ukraine have a design flaw - the "jack-in-the-box" effect, due to which they turn into "ideal mobile coffins" for the crew. The main problem of the tank, they called the storage of ammunition inside the same space where the crew is located. In it, journalists called Russian combat vehicles "two of the five worst tanks in the world." So, for example, the T-72 lacks modern ammunition, third-generation night vision sighting systems and armor.
The American magazine Popular Mechanics published an article which assessed the Russian T-72 and T-80 tanks. An ultra-precise gun, complex suspension and thick frontal armor will not help win against a large number of slightly worse tanks. In the Great Patriotic War, then it was the massive, simple and unpretentious T-34s that won, and not the expensive and complex Tigers with Panthers. To impartially understand the advantages and disadvantages of each of the main battle tanks, the phrase that "the T-72 was created as a simpler and cheaper replacement for the expensive and complex T-64" will immediately come to mind. Some of these are viewed as deficiencies in straight comparison to NATO tanks, but most are a product of the way these tanks were envisioned to be employed, based on the Soviets' practical experiences in the Great Patriotic War. The T-72 shares many design features with other tank designs of Soviet origin.
