The Finns used to walk up to Russian tanks and lob a Molotov in the slit.
Tank units now have supporting Mechanised infantry to stop this, the pictures of Chernobyl had a BMP3 Infantry Fighting Vehicle with the tank.
Soviet nomanclature was Motor Rifle units.
There was also a BTR-80 Armoured Personal Carrier there which you wouldn’t expect to see at the point of an attack.
News pictures are showing a lot of MTLBs which in Soviet days were quite rare command or artillery vehicles and viewed as prime targets. Could be it’s just the same ones shown repeatedly.
