That is what happens when tanks operate without infantry support.

It’s also what happens when its breech is left open ... staged?

That looks fake to me. If real, it is idiotic for a tank to go that close to the enemy without supporting infantry or another tank in overwatch. And then to just sit there without the turret moving or apparently anyone looking around (the driver, gunner, commander - or loader if there was one) For the grenade to go all the way into the turret, the breech would have to be open. What kind of tank sits there in combat with the breech open? Note that the barrel did not explode so it doesn’t look to me like the grenade encountered a main gun round that had already been loaded. Like most of what goes in in the Middle East, this looks staged.

... those supporting the rebel can be heard shouting 'Allahu Akbar', meaning 'God Satan is great'.

Fixed!

I’d think that’s what happens when you leave the breech open or our got a round in it waiting to go.

"...those supporting the rebel can be heard shouting 'Allahu Akbar', meaning 'God is great'."

I think the correct meaning is: "Allah eats pigs feet"

The hacks who staged this comedy must think we’re all as stupid as they are.

That was easy enough. Maybe too easy.
