MR, hi,

thanks for that. I have seen similar reports.

I always assumed the guy bailed out because he understandably thought another would soon be on its way that may then finish them all. My theory has always been, reinforced by the most credible first person accounts, that when tanks think they have been hit by a credible threat, that may often penetrate, they do normally bail.

They don't hang around a wait to be hit again.

Thanks,
All the best,
kip.

Looks like ERA bricks do their job, but the tank's optics are totally damaged.

What is the chief threat to Russia’s T-90 tank on the Syrian battlefield?

March 2, 2016 VIKTOR MURAKHOVSKY, GAZETA.RU

Editor-in-chief of the Arsenal Otechestva magazine, weapons expert and former tank driver Viktor Murakhovsky reveals what is being fired at tanks in Syria, who is supplying these weapons and what the new Russian tanks strengths and weaknesses are.

http://rbth.com/defence/2016/03/02/what ... eld_572519

"What do we actually see in the internet video of the T-90 being hit? We see a 1992 T-90 tank with a cast tower. We know its production year because it has the Shtora opto-electronic suppression system (its projectors can be seen on both sides of the cannon) and by the shape of the gunner's hatch.

The tank is equipped with the Contact-5 dynamic defense system and is covered with composite armor protection with reflecting plates. We see that as the left jaw was hit by the TOW-2A missile the dynamic defense went into effect, and it seems that the main armor was not penetrated.

The tank crew was neglectful of its responsibilities during battle: The hatches were open and the Shtora system was turned off.

As a result of the explosion of the 6 kg warhead, it was natural that the shock wave leaked into the open hatch and the shell-shocked gunner jumped out of the tank."
