Disabeld means destroyed in tank vs tank combat. 80% of all tanks in any conflict are just disabeled. At least in a proper conflict like WW2
Oh dear.
Disabled in modern combat means, just that disabled. Destroyed means just that. In the UK army when one of our tanks is disabled we will send out our REME callsigns (Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers) in their 432's, Warrior repair vehicles and CRARRV recovery vehicles. We will either fix it, (often under fire) or recover it using CRARRV 24C callsign again often under fire. In some cases with the crew still in the vehicle fighting back and covering us. And as for 'proper' conflict...
Mate I was in the first Gulf War (Op Granby) and the second one (Op Telic) and they seemd pretty real and 'proper' to me.
I was in REME and involved in that sort of stuff. Jeez its amazing how many civvies are experts.
