There are different options here:
a) or a person who has seen a tank only in a YouTube video can say (write) this, but in any case this person has no idea what "routine" maintenance of a tank is;
b) or this can be said (written) by a person who has never performed such a "routine" daily self-service as, for example, taking off his pants and taking a certain pose to remove excess fluids and solid food from the body (coping with natural needs) at a temperature of minus 25 degrees Celsius, even with complete calm. I'm not even talking about the fact that such a person has no idea what it is to perform the "routine" self-service described above at a temperature of minus 35 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 meters per second.
c) or This person has no idea what the so-called "routine" maintenance of the tank turns into when at the end of the day the temperature was plus 5 degrees Celsius and a light wind, and in the morning you are "expected" to be minus 25 Celsius and the wind is whistling so that you need to shout at full force so that a nearby person can hear you a man.
I know for sure that the Russian mobiks-untermensch know and are able to act in the weather situations described above. With the Russians, it's clear, that's why they are untermensch. And how are things with our the European Ubermnschs? Are our the European Ubermnschs prepared to act in such situations?
P. S.
I served as a senior rifleman in a motorized rifle regiment, in which there was a tank battalion T-55 (40 tanks).
After each training battle, "routine" maintenance of the tank was carried out, while the tank crew was assisted by a motorized rifle squad. During such work, the crew members of the tank and the motorized rifle squad received a double ration of butter, meat and fish, in addition, without restriction: bread and fruit compote with sugar.

In short, if at plus temperature for 1 hour of "operation" of the "western" tank, 8 man-hours of service are required, then at minus 10 and below Celsius, the service time will increase at least two to three times, up to 16-24 man-hours.
