After the first tank gets blown up, the track commander pops up out of the background tank and the foreground tank elevates its main gun, traverses left a bit, depresses the gun a bit then traverses left more. I think those tanks are live and not abandoned.

I'm flabbergasted that there's no supporting infantry milling about in the background or rushing to the stricken tank's aid. These guys are naked. given that there are tall buildings that provide great vantage points for anti-tank missile crews.

Watch what happened to the ejected crew member once he starts running. There’s puffs of dust around and near him that look like someone’s shooting at him. My guess is the accompanying infantry (if any) have taken shelter in nearby buildings - in fact, that’s probably why he was running to that specific building instead of closer cover.
