Russia's tank 'grill' defences falter against drone strikes
The Russians are attempting various methods to shield their equipment from drones. A video has surfaced online showing a "cage" used by Putin's military to protect tanks from aerial threats. Many are joking that the cover resembles a grill.
The Russians have lost a substantial amount of equipment as a result of the war in Ukraine. We all recall how, at the very start of the conflict, entire columns of tanks heading towards Kyiv were devastated by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. According to a recent report by the WP Tech portal, Russia has lost over 10,000 tanks—at least according to data provided by Kyiv. Considering that Moscow had several tens of thousands of tanks in 2022, the losses are staggering.
War in Ukraine. This is how Russians protect tanks from drones
During the ongoing conflict, drones have become crucial. With their help, Ukrainians manage to target objectives both along the front line and far beyond it. Refineries, which with their resources support Putin's army, are being destroyed at the rear of the front line.
However, drones continue to destroy Russian tanks, causing significant losses on the battlefield. The Russians have discovered a method that has already spread across the internet. The invaders attempted to protect their vehicles by placing a cage around the turret.
According to the War Translated profile, this did not protect the tank from a drone attack. The cage proved ineffective. Consequently, the Russians decided to enhance it by covering the turret with steel cables. This "technology" has already gained notoriety and is described as a "grill." Indeed, from the outside, the cover somewhat resembles a barbecue grill rack.
