it’s like the inbred version of the maus (heeeyyy you guyyyss) tank from WW2
I’m curious about the stats of this unit.
Certainly the absolute chonker of a cope-tank yet.
WAAAAGH needs more dakka
They are doing this, because it actually works:
>[I know people are laughing at this, but I don’t think it is a crazy adaptation. The Russians are adapting to the particular conditions of the battlefield in which Ukraine has a lot of FPVs, but not enough ATGMs, anti-tank mines, and artillery. So sacrificing observation and the ability to rotate the turret on one tank per platoon that can jam many FPVs frequencies at once makes sense. The priority is to get infantry assault groups across open fields to buildings or defensive positions.](https://x.com/RALee85/status/1783558203239788920)

>[russian “barn” protective cages from today’s morning assault around Ivanivske. russians are trying to scale this tactic across the front. As I understand it, they came in, dropped infantry and moved back (not sure 100%) To counter it, Ukraine needs more well prepared ATGM crews, more artillery ammo and new artillery barrels.](https://x.com/Teoyaomiquu/status/1786068113043214390)
Other name is double-layered pressure cooker, for when it blows up and burn.
I was waiting for the camera person to blow up from a land mine.
That’s literally bunker on tracks.
We will probably soon see drones that land on the barrel of these abominations, gently inserting a RPG round through the muzzle.
Don’t they know it’ll drive faster if they paint it red?
Sorry but, WTF here?
Slow and limited range of vision. What could go wrong?
Something right out of Mad max
there equipment looks similar to its soldiers.
A remote trigger on land mines would counter the rollers, when the roller triggers the mines they are already under the tank.
Would an FPV drone be able to hit the tracks in the rear and disable it? Admitting absolute ignorance of things that go boom
hard counter is a big enough shaped charge or track destruction.
Just orcs doing orc things.
u/recognizesong
UA needs to equip some of the kamikaze drone with some smoke grenades and fly from the front. Wonder how these will do with smoke inside this cage 😛
It’s like a bunch of Roman soldiers with their shields up
This is another reason why the US needs to be watching these front lines and participating with strategic assets- warfare is evolving. What Russia is doing is on the field adaptations. These particular ones, are a result of lacking shells and relying on drones. This is a new dimension to warfare to adopt to. It’s crude and evolved from the extreme circumstances but we need to develop something more sophisticated for any future conflicts.
WAAAAGH
They upgraded it i see, The orcs are learning!
Not the first time, not the last time people compare the war IRL to the Warhammer. I know a few people judging the world accordingly to the Warhammer universe. And to the certain point I can understand that. Warhammer world is a perfect (and at the same time) cynical depiction of the current state of things. It is not an utopian superhero world like Marvel or DC universe. It is not a Disneyland. It is brutal. There is no ultimate hero who will save you. PG-18 at its finest.
And still the same engine as the T-34.
This should not be effective, an artillery shell doesn’t give a fuck how many layers of armor it has. Where the fuck is the ammunition Ukraine needs?!
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!
may the force not be with you.
That’s the biggest blyat mobile yet
Waaaagh!
A drone could still take out the tracks, right?
To be fair that looks like it could take a few hits
We need yarrick…
Mad Max
Drone sure maybe a few but a 155mm direct hit would shred this thing into piece’s.

Looks like a Jawa sand crawler.
I still think Marvin Heemeyer did it better.
