Does the tank have a place to go to the toilet?

According to Technology, tanks are a special means of warfare and are one of the symbolic symbols of wartime.

If you are driving a battle tank and you have a sad situation to go to the toilet, it is indeed an "extreme" for all soldiers.

According to Technology, tanks are a special means of warfare and are one of the symbolic symbols of wartime. Since the First World War, this attack and weapon of attack has dominated on most battlefields. To this day, tanks have been constantly improved with modern design and more powerful features or weapons of damage.

Tanks are a special means of warfare, and are one of the symbolic symbols of wartime.

Although there have been many changes compared to the previous generation, modern tanks today are still not the most comfortable place for combat. The space inside is still very narrow, very difficult to turn. At this time, the question was asked, were the soldiers in the tank comfortable if the tank was too narrow to have a toilet?

The need for physiology is inevitable for every human being, even in combat. But when in a big battle, opening the lid of the tank to run outside to urinate or even "go heavy" is very difficult, if not impossible.

So how do soldiers solve this problem?

First of all, it must be affirmed that most tanks do not have toilets inside. Originally, tanks were a means of space and isolation, so there were almost no spaces to move. Also due to space constraints, design engineers find it difficult to find a toilet layout.

The cramped space inside the tanks made it difficult to manage, let alone going to the toilet.

The temporary treatment is mostly to hold back or wait for conditions to go out to the bathroom. But there are also cases of force majeure that can't go out. At this time the soldiers were forced to find creative solutions.

They often use empty water bottles or cartridges to act as "drains". Sometimes they also use bags to store waste by putting them under their buttocks and "acting".

Of course, this is not the most feasible solution because urine or waste will smell unpleasant or at least, it is not convenient to go to the bathroom before many people's eyes.

There have been many veterans talking about unforgettable experiences when driving a tank. There were even people who got sick after only one drive to perform the task.

But that's not all that a soldier suffered when he sat in this fighting machine. Body odor such as sweat or other odors is also what makes many soldiers cease to be annoyed and obsessed.

Most of them only use wipes for personal hygiene and cleaning. But there is another interesting detail, when many veterans fighting in the tanks claimed to be accustomed to an unpleasant smell after a long time of contact.
