Can anyone explain why Russians abandoning their tanks
1 seem to leave every hatch open
2 don’t destroy them to keep from capture, esp in Kharkiv goodwill gesture
“seem to leave every hatch open”
RuZZia’s version of the US Open Door Policy?
No one brought the key to lock the hatches?
RuZZia thinks Fat NATO soldiers can’t fit through the hatches to get inside?
Habit, because they always keep them open except when they must close them?
Having no intention of coming back and indifference to leaving it open or closed?
They perhaps want to assist in making sure the tank is totaled by drones?
They are all in a hurry and the last guy out is in no less a hurry than everyone that is already running or hiding?

I like Ansel’s last three in post #108. Ring true to me.
They are just focused on saving their own goat-smelling butts.
There have been cases where they park in the open with the hatches open to invite drones (while they camp at a distance). Once their vehicle is destroyed, they get reassigned (hopefully away from the front).

Russian tanks doe not have AC. Open hatch is the only way to ventilate heat.
