> Suvorov mentions this on "Inside the Soviet Army". But why was it abandoned? Did training standards get softer with time?
I don't really know if it is fully abandoned - some people say that they got that exercise in 21st century too, but they are from VDV and some specific branches. Maybe it is common in army now, I couldn't easily find info. I've seen people who clearly stated that they didn't seen any tanks and they were infantry.
I've heard that modern recruit already ok with tanks and not afraid much, so many of tank-panic training exercises aren't needed today.
