    More likely the landmine doctrine. By taking out the recovery vehicle they essentially get two vehicles out of the fight, and the Russians might try and recover both.

    Does it still use the autoloader that makes older Russian tanks pop their turrets?

      Soviet tech is best in world. No need to mess with perfection. Popping turret is feature. Escape hatch so crew can run around while in flames.

      There are no people in the turret. At all. Even as backup manual loading is not possible.

    Maybe they targeted the recovery vehicle because it is more useful to capture the Armata and send it to the Americans for reverse-engineering and intelligence gathering.
