Drones play a crucial role in the Ukraine war. A Russian brigade tries to protect its tanks against this with creative modifications.
They attack from the air and are often only recognized too late for ground troops: Drones are now an integral part of warfare – including in Ukraine. Camera-controlled FPV drones, for example, make it possible to locate targets and then attack them with pinpoint accuracy.
These kamikaze drones equipped with explosive devices can cause significant casualties. Soldiers and tank companions have hardly any options to protect themselves against it. Russian fighters now seem to be getting creative.
Photos that showed a tank with a self-made protective shell that was reminiscent of a turtle shell caused amusement on social media. But Russian military correspondent Alexander Sladkov assures on Telegram that this is not an emergency solution due to a lack of money.
You can see how a Russian brigade tries to provide additional protection for its tanks and how the sometimes strange vehicles cope in action in the video above.
