Video shows the tank has been completely covered in armour plating and antidrone wire. It also has a KMT7 mine plough on the front that is designed to clear minefields. The tank is also likely equipped with advanced jamming equipment to stop the drones. This is not visible in the video but has been attached to similar tanks. More footage from inside the tank shows how the armour restricts the tank’s view. The turret is more or less immobilised and cannot rotate under the armour. And the added weight appears to have slowed the vehicle down to a crawl. However, Ukrainian troops say these tanks have proved surprisingly hard to stop. Russian armoured assault increasingly feature these tanks at the head of columns. This is because Ukraine is running low on artillery shells and antitank rockets, which would have relatively little trouble penetrating this kind of armour. And has been replacing these weapons with FPV drones, which are far less destructive but far more accurate meaning they can target the tank’s weakest spots. Russia is also thought to be running low on tanks so is trying to conserve what it has. #russia #ukraine #war
