Any thoughts?
Very realistic.

Bloke nonchalantly walks up beside the Tank.
Bloke then pulls the external Fire Extinguisher system handle.
Tank is knocked out, Crew have a strong incentive to get out.

Tank-jacking is easy if you have the right tools, and the Tank is not going to fire back (as is the case in the test you ran).
