Remember the accident at the Baikonur launch pad? There’s an update.

Text from Russian sources:

"The cabin fell because the “stoppers were not secured.” Why? That’s still the main question. The higher-ups were warned that there was a serious problem and tried to secure it,

A gunner of a ruSSian T-80BVM talks about the quality of his tank:

The electronics are buggy, acting on their own.The components — pure luck.I wasn’t lucky: the hydraulics in the turret started leaking as soon as the vehicle rolled off the trailer.And it’s still leaking to this day

fix one thing, another starts leaking and so on in circle.
Ergonomics — vehicles w/ an autoloader are cramped by default, but in the BVM it’s even tighter because of the thermal imager,especially for the cmmander.
The sight is decent,but there’s simply nothing to compare it w/
