Default Re: Soviet tank crew survival.
Sorry,but you have. If you remember there was an accident in Iraq where Iraqi insurgents fired an RPG that penetrated side hull and goes out at other (one crewmember was wounded) HEAT jet goes at much greater speed than APFSDS (jet, not projectile) so by your means all crew should be dead, but they were not. Similar things happened to M113A3 when APFSDS rounds get through one side to other and out with no effect on M113... Examples are quite numerous.
