How You Do It

Should’ve worked. Attacking a tank from the rear is a great place to do it with something like a BTR-4.

It’s always risky attacking a tank, of course, but from the rear they’re fairly vulnerable and it takes them a while to swing their main guns around (assuming they are pointing forward). Those BTR-4s have a pretty fearsome 30mm cannon on them and though it won’t completely destroy most MBTs, it probably disabled those two permanently. Disable from the rear, then run away. That’s exactly how you do it if you can.

I think so too. I was wrong about this in the beginning in an important way. I thought it had something to do with NATO expansion and it mostly doesn’t; Putin wants an empire again. The Baltic states would’ve been next up.
