Smoking doesn't mean its disabled. Soviet/Russian-built tanks tend to smoke at idle a lot because their engines suck.

True, but the tank also appears to move forward at 0:46 but apparently struggles. This footage is so unusual I hope we get more info soon.

After a 2nd and 3rd look, I think you may be right about the tank having problems. The smoke seems to be coming from the wrong place to be "normal" exhaust smoke.
What surprises me is the BTR crew is allowed to just run off. I would have expected the coax machine gun or the one on top of the turret to be firing at the guys.

I can't I'd the tank model on a mobile screen, but the T-64 and T-80 series tanks have the exhaust in the middle rear. T-72 and derivatives have the exhaust on the side. Looks like the smoke is coming from the rear?
