Russian tanks used in modern conflicts have had very bad tendency of suffering catastrophic explosions. Whereas many tanks if penetrated would simply burn up, Russian designs (particularly T-72 and its derivatives) tend to be violently relieved of their turret, which can fly off even some dozens of meters away.
The reason for this is their design decision – but not the one that is typically blamed for it.
