1. [Here is the original video of the assault](https://www.reddit.com/r/UkraineConflict/comments/1bz9khi/large_russian_assault_near_krasnohorivka_donetsk/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) near Krasnohorivka where we first saw this weird tank.

   UPDATE: [Here is the aftermath video](https://www.reddit.com/r/UkraineConflict/comments/1bzyd64/the_bizarre_turtle_tank_got_tracked_back_to_its/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) after Ukraine tracked it back home and destroyed it

2. but can this tank still fight?

3. I answered this in another post, but I believe the idea of this monstrosity is to avoid (or at least difficult) being spotted? I mean, the lack of outline and the sand color kind of blends the thing with the ground from far.

   Sure the Canon gives away, and the severely reduced visibility from inside must cripple it’s usefulness, but then again we are taking about Russians; they lack both intelligence and regard for their servicemen.

4. How do you traverse the gun?

5. Drone magnet

6. It is already dead.

7. It’s like a homemade Jagdpanther

8. Drone hanger

9. I do not know what to say. You solve 1 problem by creating 100 more problems.
   That tank will me impossible to service in the battlefield, no easy access to anything.
   Too heavy for the mud season.
   Main gun cannot rotate.
   A dedicated antitank weapon will still immobilize it.
   Attack from small drones is not guarantee that will not damage it from other angles.
   The front of the cage has no protection and drones are flexible enough to explode inside the cage.

10. The Russians designed it to stop the Ukrainians from throwing knives at the tanks. I hear it is working as intended /s

11. When a bunch of stupid Russians brainstorm and create something together you get this very stupid result.

    Fertiliser they must be…

12. Sabot Up!

13. I build and fly fpv drones and not closing in the back makes this useless if that’s what they did it for. Probably just to calm the crew down and keep them in the tank until someone flys a boom boom through the front or back
