Didn't even have to fly down an open hatch, lol. Just some cheap drone blew the fuck out of a modern tank.

Remember when Russia "reconfigured" the T-72 after Desert Storm into the T-90 to appease the export market after the T-72's pathetic performance?

Yeah, this is the death knell of any country but the most desperate buying rus armor.

seems trivial to advance drones to the point of having them carry purpose designed shaped charges that will fuck any and all armor, if they can't already

That tank is clearly knocked out already and almost certainly empty.

How does it do this? Is there some sort of EFP device on the front of it?

The RPG7 (likely pictured) has a shaped-charge. The shaped charge hit the ammo carousel which the auto-loader for this tank model uses.

Mayn Western tanks also use blow-out panels which confine such explosions and attempt to redirect them outward. This tank has no such protection.

Not EFP, probably just leads to the fuze (used to bypass the ordinary trigger mechanism of the RPG).

That's what I figured. Some sort of copper jet fucking their shit up. I know Russian doctrine is to have three guys per tank with an autoloader while American doctrine is four guys per tank with a human loader. I've read before that part of the reason we do that is to have an extra guy to assist in repair and overwatch while Russians want fewer personnel per tank and like the reliability of an autoloader. Catch is, you gotta store the ammo in an autoloader in a way that makes you blow your turret off if you get hit in the midsection, while Abrahms have blowout panels that save the crew and don't totally destroy the tank. Not sure what the fire rate difference is between the two.

It's blindingly obvious to anyone that things like tanks, warships, helicopters. Aircraft carriers, maybe even fighter jets, are all obsolete. The cost to destroy them is a fraction of the cost to build. However, I'm sure the US is still churning this shit out at the behest of defense contractor$
