No ****ing way it survived a TOW hit with just turret damage. Mid generation TOWs are good for 900mm of penetration BEYOND reactive armor with a tandem warhead. A T90 simply doesn't have that kind of protection, even head on at it's thickest points. Even earlier TOWs have enough penetration ability to kill it outright. Any TOW hit will **** it up and enter it into the turret toss.
The 25mm is probably not penetrating the T90's armor like a 120mm, but it is certainly ****ing up everything outside it. The Bradley can blind them and disable their tracks, which is basically what they did if you watch the interview with the gunner. At that point, the tank is a sitting duck, which is why the crew abandoned it.
As for the, "This was just poor tactics," cope, you'd think that an army that's been fighting a war for almost 2 years and a unit equipped with Russia's best production tank would be smarter. But they're not. The fact that a T90 was out by itself and getting ****ed up like this speaks to the poor training of the crew and infantry around it and the general availability of armor.
What we see is great tactics from the Ukrainians who took out Russia's premier MBT with IFV's and the usual suspects trying to downplay it and spin it as a positive. At the end of the day, that T90 was lost and the Bradleys drove away. No matter how you spin it, that's a loss.
