Tanks have always been vulnerable to cheaper weapons, whether that's an anti-tank gun hidden in rubble or a NLAW. This is why tanks require infantry support---to locate and deal with those threats while the tanks deal with things the infantry cannot.
Many of the videos from Ukraine have been ambushes (sort of a separate matter) or of AFVs operating without close infantry support. That's not a good way to do things.
- sorokod 5y agoIs your assumption that the Russians do not know that "tanks require infantry support" or just ignore this fact?

Basically they still operate like the military of some el presidente banana republic. And currently there is no larger than life actually competent field marshal Zhukov like leadership to make all of them fall in line.
