That’s quite a hop.

1. This might help

2. And that assumes that the barrel's at just the right angle.

So the 66 m (or so) is a minimum.

If this was properly geolocated to near Novoazovsk, I sort of hope that this does mean some kind of insurgency.

At the same time, I wouldn't be upset if from time to time these tanks just popped their tops for completely internal reasons. "Ivan, there's a 0.2% chance for every km you travel that you will die." "This ... not very much, sir!" "Indeed. I estimate in the next 2 weeks you'll drive this tank 510 miles." "Sir, that a 102% chance of big boom!" "Are you unwilling to die for your fuehr... leader? Soldier? That would be treason, and we would root out the cause of that treason, starting with whoever raised you!"

"I die for Petain ... Putain ... my Lord!"

"Well Putained ... put."

3. That's an impressive jack-in-the box effect.

I would be very hesitant to serve in a Russian tank. The design placing ammunition in the turret is profoundly stupid.

4. That's gonna leave a mark.

5. Judging by the smoke pre-explosion...

Looks like the tank was hit and disabled... started to burn and the ammo "cooked off"...

The crew may or may not have escaped.

7. That's What I Think Too

I don't see a single munition being big enough driving a heavy object straight up unless it detonated from inside the tank. And, the ordinance is located directly below the turret on most tanks.
It only takes one shell to "cook off". The shock wave of that one would trip the primers or initiators in the other shells. They are, by design, shock sensitive.

6. Wonder what the people in the little car thought?
