Personally, I like Perun’s name for them: Assault Sheds.
Adding More weight + limiting the tank to about 60 degrees of frontal vision to get more protection against drone attack.
So is this just their kamikaze style tactic?
What’s the mpg on these old Russian assault sheds?
Not really a tank anymore- more a self propelled gun
Anybody know what kind of metal they are using for the sheds?
Not sure, but I think this is a T-80 ? T-72 road wheels are not like that.
Just one more sheet of steel bro, I swear it’ll stop shaped charges bro.
Wonder if enclosing the engine like that will cause overheating in summer temps.
I don’t want to help them but if they put wood planks around it, this looks like a small shed
My recommendation is to use a pair of drones. Not just one to blow a hole in the armour, but to use a slightly shaped charge of something more akin to a mix of C4 and mostly smokeless powder. Basically, a medium explosive vs a high explosive. This creates a huge volume of gas. 1kg of smokeless powder will create an instant 1000l of gasses. By putting the C4 at a higher concentration at the back of the charge, it should form a “steel” plate for the gasses to push against and go forward.
I’m only making a guess. But this might be possible with a simply modified RPG round with the mostly smokeless powder packed into the cavity in front of the cone. This would drastically reduce the penetrating power of the shaped charge, but this doesn’t have much penetrating to do in the first place.
This should pop the shell like a balloon; yet would hardly put a smudge on the paint job. Ironically, if this sets off any of the reactive armour it would add more gas to help this popping effect.
The idea is to create a burst of pressure which looks like it would blow the shell either clean off, or at least some panels off.
Then it should be smooth sailing for a classic AT drone.
Hinges on the back, Perun was right about that being a door
I’m thinking about Colonel Nicholson in “*The Bridge on the River Kwai”* Of course his hot box didn’t have a V-12 air cooled diesel engine warming things up for him. Hello summer! Find the camera mounts and knock out their vision.
It’s a T-80
The exhausts look vulnerable. Damage those and the engine will choke and over heat. Glory to ukraine.
So it’s now it’s an overweight mtlb with a fix 125mm cannon? Or do they see this as a shell for an added layer of meat armor?
aw were the cope cages not working?
Clearly this is not manufactured
Another war crime of stealing civilians property
That’s a T-80, infact quite a rare one(T-80U).
Not to mention, there weren’t alot of them to start with.
Time for napalm and thermite Canisters to be added to those drones if the “shell” and not EW is the problem.
“Mum, can we have StuG III?” “We have StuG III at home”
StuG III at home:
All I see is an orc crematory
Do you think the drone operators could attack the barrels successfully?
Next up: flying at mines. They’re not gonna add metal plates underneath.
Aren’t tanks supposed to be able to fire in 360 degrees? This seems so desperate.
Looks like BA Baracus finds himself a welding machine
Looks like something Orcs would build in the Warhammer 40k universe…
mines entered the chat…
Sick coffin blyats
A7V, 2024 version. Battlefield 1 memories, man. The’ll get blown to smithereens anyways.
Paint it red, it goes fasta
Does this suggest Russia is short on tanks when they’re willing to go to these lengths 🤔
Like the trench warfare and artillery…the tanks are kinda ww1ish now…
Seems like a surefire way to get your already shitty vehicle to overheat in the hot summer months.
More shrapnel
Useless! IEDs can fuck them up anyway!
The Jawas called, they want their sandcrawler back!
If this contraption transports troops and a drone flies in from the front – good night everybody!
These work pretty well apparently.
I like how this is the the “upgrade”
haha, sitting ducks i would call them
Fuggin Jawas
They look like dumpsters which is somehow fitting as they’re full of crap and burn easy….🤡🤡🤡
Drones need Armor Piercing with Napalm. Imagine poking a hole through the shell and filling it with Napalm.
I mean, yeah they look dumb as hell, but these tanks are used mostly as indirect fire weapons or support guns. If its stupid and it works, it’s not stupid.
What this shows however, is that tank design will likely undergo a massive change in the coming years.
The need for a fully rotating turret is far less present in this conflict, the need for great gun sights, allowing you to hit a fly at 5km is pretty much gone, the need for a tank to engage another tank is almost a thing of the past.
These things do make it hard for drones to hit them.
At the same time, if your vehicle breaks down or catches fire or just rolls over a mine, good luck getting out.
Also I don’t wanna know how much weight that adds.
I’m curious to see how tank designers will react to the lessons of this war.

Lmao, the ATGM be like: “Hold my beer”
We have returned to the era of the landship…
