This is exactly why its not wise looking down on the T-55s in that particular battlefield, turns out modern tank-tank combat are rare, and whatever design and engineering that tank designer put their effort to design top notch tanks like the M1, Leo2, T-90M are trashed by things as simple as mines and grenades.
Ukrainian and Russian infantry will still die when hit either by 2A26M 125mm guns or by 100mm D-10 guns and specs that used to be so cool such as gun pressure chambers, APFSDS penetration stats, shoot on the move or RHA thickness is becoming less and less relevant. Anything that shoots counts.
I wonder if the Russians are planning to return to tank destroyer concept in the future to cut cost and cut production time. maybe a 21st century version of this.
