How effective are Molotov Cocktail against modern - so post World War 2 - tanks? I wondered about this and Chris (Military Aviation History) noted this would be a good topic. So, I started to dig and found a lot of superficial articles etc. my vehicle books were also far too general to answer this question. So, I hired a researcher to write a report on the fire fighting systems of the T-72 & T-90 tanks and help me out with various questions as well, since he looked into Soviet armored fighting vehicles quite extensively.
