It turned out that a design flaw was behind the tank losses inflicted by Russia in Ukraine.
事实证明，俄罗斯在乌克兰造成的坦克损失背后是一个设计缺陷。
Russia, which suffered bigger losses than it had ever expected after the war it launched in Ukraine on February 24, experienced the biggest shock when it lost military equipment.
俄罗斯在2月24日在乌克兰发动战争后遭受的损失超出了它的预期，它经历了最大的冲击，因为它损失了军事装备。
According to the US-based think tank Rand Corporation and the UK-based International Institute for Strategic Studies, Russia had 2,700 tanks at the beginning of the invasion.
根据美国智库兰德公司和英国国际战略研究所的数据，俄罗斯在入侵伊始拥有2700个坦克。
However, later in the war, destroyed and abandoned images of Russian tanks revealed that Russia had a serious problem.
然而，在战争后期，俄罗斯坦克被摧毁和遗弃的图像揭示了俄罗斯有一个严重的问题。
Although Russia's losses were attributed to advanced anti-tank weapons supplied by the West, the real truth has emerged.
尽管俄罗斯的损失归因于西方提供的先进反坦克武器，但真正的真相已经浮出水面。
He ignored the fatal design error that turned the Moscow vehicles that drove Soviet-era tanks into the field into 'walking coffins' for the Ukrainian war.
他忽视了一个致命的设计错误，这个设计错误使那些在战场上驾驶苏联时代坦克的莫斯科车辆变成了乌克兰战争中“行走的棺材”。
And the result was a complete fiasco.
结果是一场彻底的惨败。
So what is the fatal mistake in Russian tanks?
那么，俄罗斯坦克的致命错误是什么？
Unlike Western tanks, tanks become vulnerable to possible accidents because 40 shells are stacked in the cylinder chamber located in the turret of Russian tanks.
与西方坦克不同的是，俄罗斯坦克的炮塔内装有40发炮弹，因此很容易发生事故。
Any firing from tanks can cause a chain reaction in the chamber and cause all the ammunition to explode at the same time.
坦克的任何射击都可能在膛内引起连锁反应，导致所有弹药同时爆炸。
"Any shot that causes a reaction fires ammunition, causing a massive explosion, and the turret literally blows up," Sam Bendett, a consultant at the Center for New American Security, told CNN, noting that the main problem with Russian tanks is a design flaw.
新美国安全中心的顾问萨姆·本德特告诉CNN：“任何引起反应的子弹都会发射弹药，引发大规模爆炸，炮塔真的会爆炸。”他指出，俄罗斯坦克的主要问题是设计缺陷。
