Comments by "David Elliott" (@davidelliott5843) on "Russian tanks aren't obsolete. They're being used wrong" video.
Russian reactive armour is often nothing more than boxes filled with sand. Those that contain explosives don’t have reliable trigger systems. This is evidenced by how few of these pads explode when the tanks get hit.

The British at 2nd Battle of El-Alamein (North Africa 1941) used the 57mm Six Pounder anti tank gun to murderous effect against German armour. Compared to an ATGM it’s huge, but back then it was a very small target crewed by just three men. They were set up to ambush tanks with minefields to funnel them where you wanted them to go. Much like Ukraine today really.
