Russia's tanks in Ukraine have a 'jack-in-the-box' design flaw

Thank you my friend PO1 Tony Holland for posting the perspective from cnn.com "Russia's tanks in Ukraine have a 'jack-in-the-box' design flaw"
Yes the jack-in-the box flaw is linked to a poor design in the location of ammunition storage in relationship to crew and turret along with capability to deflect pressure [blowout panels] from incoming rounds in ways that are not catastrophic to vehicle and crew.

Ukraine Demolishes Putin's Super Tanks | What Explains The Huge Damage To Captured Russian T-72s?
Russia’s equipment losses in the Ukraine war have far exceeded the expectations of military analysts. Over 2,300 Russian military vehicles have been destroyed, abandoned or captured by Ukrainian forces, as per open-source data alone. These include 395 tanks (destroyed: 184, damaged: 6, abandoned: 42, captured: 163), according to Oryx Blog, an open-source site. However, what has caught the attention of experts is the manner in which some Russian tanks, like the T-72, have been completely shattered. Watch the video to find out why Russian tanks explode violently when destroyed.

Background from {{cnn.com/2022/04/27/europe/russia-tanks-blown-turrets-intl-hnk-ml/index.html]}
(CNN)Russian tanks with their tops blown off are just the latest sign that Russia's invasion of Ukraine isn't going to plan.
Hundreds of Russian tanks are thought to have been destroyed since Moscow launched its offensive, with British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace on Monday estimating it had lost as many as 580.
But Moscow's problems go beyond the sheer number of tanks it has lost. Experts say battlefield images show Russian tanks are suffering from a defect that Western militaries have known about for decades and refer to as the "jack-in-the-box effect." Moscow, they say, should have seen the problem coming.
The problem relates to how the tanks' ammunition is stored. Unlike modern Western tanks, Russian ones carry multiple shells within their turrets. This makes them highly vulnerable as even an indirect hit can start a chain reaction that explodes their entire ammunition store of up to 40 shells.

The resulting shockwave can be enough to blast the tank's turret as high as a two-story building, as can be seen in a recent video on social media.
