I cannot fathom what might happen if the Eurasian Empire has Battalions of these tanks in operation.

I agree, it's a big overly expensive target and their active protection system is of dubious quality. In the same vein, I got new packs for a modern Israeli force and couldn't believe how small the M113 was. I knew it was small but, wow, that is tiny. And the Merkava IV is a similarly oversized beast. It dwarfs the Leos and Russian stuff and even the older Merkava I.

And yet, the M113 was meant to carry an 11-man squad... Not in luxury, of course.

I'm looking at that long nose with the weapons at the back of the vehicle and thinking about how much belly will be exposed before it gets over the hill to take a shot at something.

I get what they are supposed to be achieving with unmanned turret. Will they? The problem the Russians have always had is not just the turret being penetrated, it's the turret being penetrating and the ammunition going off.
When that happens, being lower down in the hull is not going to protect anyone.
And this is also a very sudden shift for them. Crew protection has never been tops on the list.
Maybe what they are really after is minimizing the size of the turret to offer a smaller target when the vehicle is hull down. Unlike crew protection, that is a traditional Russian concern.

Looks like Russia maybe redesign it since lots of criticism about it size.

New BMP3?
