Discretion Advised! These cartoons contain some extreme animated violence!

Just to nitpick, many of those are Armored Personnel Carriers (BMP-1s and BMP-2s, looks like), rather than tanks.
The lack of an Extremely Large Turreted Gun is the giveaway there.
(Things with an Extremely Large Non-Turreted Gun are mobile artillery, not tanks either.)
A man in Texas I knew lost a D9 Cat (very similar to a tank but no gun) in a Gulf Coast salt marsh. The only thing that was left was bubbles and the operator swam for his life. The company wrote the thing off 'cause there was nothing that could go and retrieve it.
Flipped over tanks look so sad.. and adorable! Kinda like ED-209 in Robocop, when he trips on the stairs. Poor ED-209!
"The source of all driving trouble?
Somehow we knew it all along -"
Why ya gotta go and say that?
"Why ya gotta go and say that?"
Because it's irresistible?
how dioes one get out of an overturned tank?
Wonder how many were proceeded by the phrase:
"Here, hold my beer; hey y'all watch this!"?
