Steel "Dread" against FPV: The Russian Federation showed a "infernal" protection tank - Butusov (photo)

On the tank, which the Russians plan to use on the front line in Ukraine, have attached metal ropes that move and look like human dreadlocks. The main purpose of the dreadlocks is to prevent the attacks of Ukrainian UAVs, which will be ramped by "pigtails". The Russian soldiers try to protect the tanks from the shocks of the FPV-pies of the Armed Forces as much as possible, and for this purpose they weld steel ropes around the armored vehicles.

Similar protection is similar to dreadlocks, in which every "pigtail" is almost not a human hand. Yuri Butus wrote in Telegram channel about how the Armed Forces protects its weapons and why it looks like other objects, military journalist and editor-in-chief. Butusov posted a photo of the T-72B3M Tank of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, which was placed on the network in a Russian militaristic public.

In the photo we see an armored vehicle, on which the frame was boiled, the frame was covered with a net, and on top of this fitted steel ropes. The cables are similar to dreadlocks, and the car as a whole - to "Infernal transport", the journalist wrote. The lower part of the "pigtail" is not fixed, around the muzzle - cut off excess and made a "straight bang".

The post also noted that the "Second Army of the World" seems to have a competition for the creation of the most unusual cars since the Second World War, when the Russians have been fighting. According to the Watermark in the photo, you can find a channel that posted a photo of "infernal" transport. There are also images of other technical means that Russians want to protect from the FPV-punks of the Armed Forces.

In one photo - the UAZ machine (the so -called "loaf"), on which the grille was boiled from above and wrapped with a grid. On the second - a armored personnel carrier, who was also carefully enclosed with a net. However, in both cases, the lower part is not protected from attack. It should be noted that in December 2024, military journalist Volodymyr Datsenko wrote about the volume of losses of tanks of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation during the Pokrovsk in Donetsk region.

According to him, during the attempts to capture the city, the enemy lost so many armored vehicles that we can talk about an analogue of the Stalingrad battle. The journalist analyzed the fighting since the fall of 2023. The calculations have shown that the Russians have lost almost 600 tanks, more than 1,200 BMP, more than 90 SAUs and more than 150 thousand living power. At the same time, the analysts of the Defense Express project noted that Russian armored vehicles were unnecessary for repair.
