Postscript :

In a recent "computer playing Ukraine vs. human playing Russia" instance of this scenario, the AI exposed a Challenger 2 MBT to Russian Opportunity Fire. (Keep in mind -- this is a Western tank with such thick turret front armor, that it is almost immune to even 125mm APDSFS / Sabot rounds, fired from the latest 2A46M cannon on the Russian's latest and best tank, the T-90M "Proryv").

The Challenger tank lasted 2 turns (roughly 10 minutes of real time) before being destroyed (by a combination of 125mm hits to the hull sides and "Kornet" ATGM strikes.) It was first immobilized and then destroyed in the next turn.

Is this an accurate representation of what is actually going on, now, on the battlefield?

Google this : "challenger tank lost in ukraine".

But never fear : Western "opinion leaders" are telling us, "just you wait... our Abrams tanks will be the REAL 'game changer', on the plains of Ukraine."

Yeah... sure.
