A soldier from the northern operational cluster of Russia was seated on the turret of a British "Challenger"-2 tank in the Kursk region. The British tank was hit by a Russian kamikaze drone, which directly blew off the turret after striking the ammunition compartment.
Many people on the internet are still hyping up how superior Western tanks are, unlike Russian-made tanks where the turrets tend to fly off at the slightest hit. The reality is that despite their size and weight, if the ammunition compartment of Western tanks gets hit, the so-called "head-blowing" phenomenon can also occur. It's just that these tanks have been used in smaller numbers in Ukraine. From the Russia-Ukraine war, we can see that Western tanks are no longer suitable for modern warfare. These expensive tanks are large and heavy, but their turret ammunition compartments and engine compartments have weak protection and can be easily destroyed by cheap kamikaze drones.
