Russian Tanker crews conduct T-72 Main Battle Tank military operations in an undisclosed area of Donbas region, Ukraine.
Video footage shows exterior and interior views of crew members re-supplying the tank with shells and propellant charges with part of the video footage recording the commander in his chair in a confined space as he directs his Main Battle Tank through a series of battle maneuvers and main gun live fire.
Like all Soviet-legacy tanks, the T-72's design has traded off interior space in return for a very small silhouette and efficient use of armour, to the point of replacing the fourth crewman with a mechanical loader. The T-72 variants shown in the video are very likely early and late T-72B main battle tanks fitted with either Kontakt 1 and Kontakt-5 explosive reactive armour.

2:02 During Soviet times the majority of the crew were Central Asian. Indonesia 🇮🇩 the average height of a man is only 152 cm. t72 actually has a wide area depending on who is driving it

Even more modern Russian tanks are designed for crew with that height. And I guess a 170cm guy would still fit in.

The powder gas removal system will not cope if the hatches are open. The system works perfectly with closed hatches. Open because it's hot inside the tank

​@@christianballard4813its the spare munitions that ignite the tank and cause chain explosion with the carousel and still carousel sits on prone position so quite difficult to hit it directly

An M1 Abrams can fire on average 8 rounds a minute with a human loader.

On a training excersises a Leopard 2 loader can do it in 2.5 seconds by the book. It can be done faster "not-by-the-book" when after loading the gun you pull a new shell on your arms to wait the gunner to fire and shell get ejected, so you get under 2.5 seconds in that moment. But that means you have one shell weighting ~18 kg in your arms is taking your strength quickly, and you have very hard time to handle it in normal combat operations. That 2.5 second loading speed is really done in optimal situation, on a loaders training machine. In actual combat you are swinging around if you don't hold on with both hands from the hull, and when it comes to load the shell, you are swinging same time as the MBT likely is on that moment reversing and stopping and coming up again, so you get by average 6-8 second loading times per shell. That is what the autoloader improve dramatically that you get almost constant (depending if you switch between the ammo type) firing rate and you can do it excellent manner on the move, like assault on hard terrain as you don't have one guy there trying to hold on, grab a heavy object from a pipe and rotate around to insert it to another. Here is ex-Abrams crew member kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iJaoYJt_zcu5YXk.html But to be said, the firing speed is always questionable as limiter for actual combat. In good way you will have vehicle driver driving from cover to hull-down position, gunner to fire the gun and instantly reverse back to cover. In the time of turret-down position you can not fire, and it takes time to drive back up/forward to come shooting position, so such defensive position tactic limits fire rate anyways. The first shot counts, it doesn't matter much if you can anyways load just 1-3 rounds in contact, as you are in situation where you get hit. As possibility getting hit after first firing is very high. But then it helps if you can load those 1-3 successive shots in 3-4 seconds instead 6 seconds. But everyone has a one shell inside for first shot, so better not to miss that anyways. So going by the actual generic numbers, a human loader does it in about 8-10 seconds in Abrams, it makes it about 7-6 rounds per minute. While autoloader does it 8-9 per minute, and can keep firing more if required. That is not a real difference really by speed, but capability to do it on the move etc, is big.

Considering the efficiency of the T-72 turret launch system, no Russian tank crewman is likely to live long enough to suffer the effects of exposure to propellant gases.
