Vladimir Putin's forces revealed the “turtle tanker”, with Russia's stampede to protect its dancer shield from deadly aircraft in Ukraine.
Footage of the Russian state TV BMP-1 in the Soviet era showed wrapped in metal sheets and strange hair-like hairs during its plow through the battlefield.

The “Mash'ar” vehicle, which was missed near Chasif Yar, was seen in the Donetsk area, where Moscow forces are steadily advanced.
The strange adjustments are part of the desperate attempt in Moscow to protect armored vehicles from drones from the first person (FPV), which has become a threat in the battlefield.
BMP seems to be “hairy” is a development of “cages” in Russia, and improvised metal shields that were first seen on the tanks at the beginning of the war.
But instead of just flat panels, the open BMP back is covered by hanging frizzy beams of steel, while the thick broom hairs come out of his side.
Olixander Denio, a Russian military analyst and defense, told lightning that he had not seen such defenses used in this war.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian weapons expert Valerie Rebikh suggested that the hairs be designed “to start the valves on the warheads FPV prematurely” before hitting the car directly.
The move comes at a time when Russia and Ukraine are participating in an increasing game of drone warfare, with both sides adapted quickly to face each other's tactics.
FPV drones have proven destroyed, especially against old armored vehicles, where they can reach where the defenses are weaker – at the top.
Initially, e -war systems (EW) demonstrated their effectiveness in disturbing drones that are controlled remotely, as military officials estimate that 75 percent of drones were expelled, according to telegraph reports.
But the introduction of FPV aircraft without washing the fiber -controlled fibers has forced Moscow to be creative with its defenses.
Flad tank designs desperate
This is far from the first time that Putin's forces resort to temporary solutions.
Last year, Russian forces circulated in the battle with strange “turtle tanks” were seen.
T-80s was covered in the Soviet era in steel barns and a bell series in an attempt to survive in drones and missile attacks.
The huge vehicles, which first appeared in Donetsk Oblast, became a symbol of relying on Russia on the era of the Cold War.
While thick metal plates provide some protection, they limit a severe vision of the crew, which makes them vulnerable to Ukrainian strikes.
What are the “turtle tanks”?
Turtle tanks generally refer to a largely armored design tanks, which looks like a turtle.
The term is not specific to one model, but it can describe many tanks known for its strong traps and their defensive capabilities.
One of the prominent examples is the German Panzer Viii Maus, and the heaviest of a fully closed armored vehicle that was ever built.
Another is the Soviet KV-2, known for its thick shield and the big tower.
The design philosophy behind these tanks focuses on the maximum protection and ability to stay in the battlefield, often at the expense of speed and movement.
One of the special moments came in August when the 92nd attack brigade in Ukraine has exterminated many of these “turtle tanks” in Kharkif Oplast, and placed them in a series of specific strikes.
The footage of the Russian soldiers showed that they were scrambling from the burning wreckage, as they were chosen by Ukrainian drones one by one.
Slapdash Armor promotions reflect the increasing despair in Moscow, where the reservoir fleet was eliminated one day.
Before the deadly anniversary of the war, Russian leaders were said to be forced to research the wounds of the vast Cold War to preserve their forces in the battle.
Russia's terrible arsenal was placed last May when Putin was forced to cancel or expand the marches of the annual victory day-it is usually a major display of the Russian military force-that there are no heavy military equipment.
