How the Army responds to an overturned tank

Hundreds of personnel from Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME) have been testing their specialist skills in Hampshire on Exercise Iron Challenge.
It included the scenario of how to respond when a Chieftain tank goes over on its side.

    Russia’s problem is not just the soldiers but a number of issues, including poor maintenance, missing parts, dysfunctional comms (meaning many are using radios or even smartphones, thus giving away their locations), the inability to leave the road (lest they get stuck in the mud) and outdated equipment. This has forced the Russians to mostly stick to convoys on the roads, which are naturally vulnerable to ambush. The failure to achieve air superiority is also a huge problem for the Russians. The soldiers are basically cannon fodder and even the generals are being picked off systematically. It’s a complete disaster and honestly Russia might have to accept a White Peace or only small concessions from Ukraine.
