ETA I should say in fairness the tankers behind may have thought it was artillery.

apparently the driver of the russian armor has a very limited view (see videos of armor running over their friendly infantry or running into other armor units). like you said, they may have assumed the explosion was artillery, ATGMs, another tank. In these instances, they need to keep moving of risk being a sitting duck for the next round.

Honestly, i picture Boris and Natasha from Rocky and Bullwinkle and figure figure they tell themselves "commander say go here, so i go here....."
