Russia Sends New Batch Of T-90M Tanks To Ukraine War With Rubber Mats As Latest Anti-drone Measure

Russian tank manufacturer Uralvagonzavod delivered a new batch of T-90M “Proryv” main battle tanks (MBTs). Ukrainian drone strikes have likely forced Uralvagonzavod to take a series of measures to shield Russia’s “best tank” on the battlefield. The new T-90 tanks, being transported by train from Uralvagonzavod, have reportedly been equipped with reinforced rubber mats, as per Kyiv post. Some experts say the effort will only boost the morale of the tank crew rather than maximise their chances of surviving an FPV drone strike.

  1. 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅,,,,,
    Bummmm bummmmmmm 624 mil baixas russas,8645 tanques incinerados.
    Go go go go Crimeia sempre foi e será Ucrânia livre 🇺🇦🔱🇺🇦

  2. Russian tanks keep getting more and more ridiculous. Would be suprised to see toilets being put on them as if something to stop a drone.

  3. That's like putting tits on a bull and calling it a cow you people are truly innovative…any Russian volunteers like to try this out ? Good Luck.

  4. And Russians put tires on their airplanes. We all know how that turns out 😈
    The level of corruption in Russian is beyond explanation. Just ridiculous 😂
    Is this channel being sponsored by Russian propaganda?
    Rubber is not going to stop shrapnel. Tards

  5. Here's a hypothetical question/scenario: A gallon or two of a very volatile liquid were to be dropped in a large" water balloon"/breakable container– let's say from a medium/large drone…with an igniter system. The rubber and highly volatile liquid, would ignite and create a T90 coffin, with bellowing black smoke and bubbling burning rubber. Obviously making for a Very HOT tower of flames. A long burning, and horrific death trap to the crew inside.
    Just a horrible thought that I had when this 'Oh-So-Russian' idea was shown here. Q: Are the Russians doing once again, what they Usually do? I.e., compete for the Darwin Award?! Maybe I'm wrong, but I'll bet somebody else has had the same Horrific or brilliant or completely Stupid idea to stop drones?! Wow. Watch and see.

  6. Putin's best tanks are almost all destroyed. A lot of Rusian units are now using old Soviet T-64 tanks. When the latter are destroyed, Putin will have to plunder the Russian museums for WWII tanks.

  7. -If you want peace prepare for war. -Roman General 4th Century AD. Ukraine had 8 years to prepare since the annexing of Crimea, instead they sat around waiting for 'The West' when they should been producing hoards of drones, vs sacrificing hoards of Holol's.

  8. WOW! All these expert Russian bots. They are trying desperately to turn a negative into a positive. Russians love Hollywood style propaganda. Is Rambo in the Russian army too. 😂😅😊

  9. If i know one thing its that the world will laugh at Russia and then copy whether it does. Remember the mine fields, a ditch and dragon teeth behind it? Turned out to be the best defense there is… and tank cages?

  10. Russia is moving in the wrong direction with warfare vehicles. These are becoming obsolete. And a waste of money. They still fight with stone age tactics. Russian collapse is imminent

  11. Cheap and clever, as it prevents the fuse on the RPG round from detonating when the FPV drone slams into the tank. And also deflects small dropped ordnance from similar drones.
