Tanks are so slow and open to attack with poor ability to evade attack or hit mobile targets. They're basically sitting ducks (in a furnace) with soldiers who cannot escape once targeted. They are outdated for modern war from what I can see.
I was thinking the same thing. It must be terrifying knowing you could die a horrible death at any minute. Some may have been drafted (or whatever the Russian equivalent is) and want nothing to do with this fiasco. I know I was drafted in 1967 during the Vietnam War (I was attending antiwar rallies in San Francisco at the time), and I was left with a problem. My limited options were: Flee to Canada, refuse to be inducted and go to prison, or go in and hope for the best. Not wanting to disappoint my mother I went in. It was the worse experience of my life. Well, actually the second worse. My first marriage was worse. Luckily I never went to Vietnam. I feel sorry for the Russians who were drafted, but obviously not for the animals who are committing horrible crimes.
In the early days of tanks, or when fighting an enemy that doesn't have great weapons, tanks are pretty good to be in. But ya when the people you're fighting have javelin missiles you're just a massive target that's going to die.
The Russian tanks have a 3 man crew, normally tanks have 4. One of the 4 is a loader. Russia went for an auto-loading system because it eliminates a crew member and makes the turret smaller. The huge disadvantage is that it puts the ammo in the same compartment as the crew. Big bang.
US tanks have the ammo mostly seperated from the crew, so your own ammo does not blow up secondarily and kill you....Russian style.
And to these Russian conscripts that don't want to be there. Grow a f'in pair. Arrive and surrender, hide in your own country, whatever. Murdering a child because someone told you to is no defense.
I feel for all these Russian soldiers as well. They are just cannon fodder for Putins weird ideas.
Feel sorry for them?? LoL. No one told them to rape women, gag and tie up children and shoot them in the head, or torture people. Or take the victims' belongings and sell them across the border. Phone interceptions show the soldiers bragging to their families. They are all guilty of war crimes. Some surrender others enjoy the killings.

Tanks are not supposed to be used in an urban warfare environment. That is not where a tank's strength lies but it is the campaign given to the Russians by Ukraine's defense. It does suck for the crew but they are on the wrong side of this event, so oh well.

Russia is destroying Ukraine and genociding the people.
But getting their incompetent butts kicked by Ukraine at the same time.
??
Both statements are true.
The incompetent Russian military is getting its ars kicked by a much smaller Ukrainian force.
Frustrated with their inability to compete with a foreign military, they are instead choosing to fight against apartment buildings, schools, hospitals, civilian women, and old men riding their bikes to food lines.

No one is defending the Russian soldiers who are committing crimes. Read the responses a little more closely. You can't lump every Russian soldier in with that group of animals. In this Country, not everyone is a Trump supporter or a Biden supporter. Well, I can't believe that every Russian soldier supports Putin. Not everything is just black and white. There is a whole lot of gray, you need to do some analyzing.

Hope that clears up your confusion.
Two opposite realities both believed.
Classic cognitive dissonance
-Losing military battle
-Killing and raping civilians and bombing civilian infrastructure out of frustration at losing military battle

Actually they are defending them. The defense is denying these things happened.

You don't know what cognitive dissonance is.
As for the OP, this is nothing new for the Russians. In WWII they built 85,000 T-34 tanks. 45,000 were torched by the Germans. Life is cheap on the Eurasian steppe, always has been.

You are an idiot as usual.
"Russia is destroying Ukraine and genociding the people" is not an "opposite reality" to "getting their incompetent butts kicked by Ukraine at the same time."
The act of losing/incompetent butts kicked/etc. is not in factual or logical conflict with the act of war crimes/destruction/genocide/etc.
1. You could lose and not commit war crimes.
2. You could win and not commit war crimes.
3. You could win and commit war crimes.
4. You could lose and commit war crimes.
They two "realities" are not mutually exclusive or "opposite" in any way.
You have failed so many times on so many different topics to set up what you think are logical traps, and they always fail. You are not very bright and you suck at argumentative posting.
