.IN LATE 2021 Russia started welding metal crates over the turrets of its own tanks, in an effort to shield all of them from strike. The crates verified ineffective– some Western professionals amusingly dubbed them “emotional-support armour”. Right now Russia has actually introduced a a lot more extensive retrofit, using steel sheeting to entirely confine a few of its own containers.
The brand-new armour has actually made the vehicles the label “tortoise containers”. Will kitting all of them out by doing this truly help?
