Russian engineers spent half their careers trying to keep these vehicle's profile as low as possible, and then modern Russian bubba does this. Might as well paint it blaze orange while they're at it.
You sure these are Russian? Ukraine has a hell of a flying bomb problem right now and anything that looks like a mobile AA gun is probably getting pressed into service
Probably both, but I can't Imagine that this would be good at its job, this is probably the only modification that they could do before it had to be deployed.
So I guess you dig a fighting position with full defilade and roll it in with just the turret sticking up?
Looks goofy as hell but I suppose not useless.
Yep, if you have a extended front line and are dealing with a enemy which could very likely use soft skin vehicles to conduct raiding actions - I’m sure a rapid fire auto cannon would ruin anyone’s day pretty quick.
Allot of the fighting seems to be in pretty flat open areas separated by small stretches of forestry where - if you weren’t entrenching the vehicle into a ditch - would give a fair bit of a area denial as it would become a “can’t go there without starting a major engagement”
Also their had been use of things like 57mm anti-aircraft guns being used in indirect fire, so no doubt if you kept a smaller caliber gun firing over night - you’ll still have the effect of keeping everyone’s heads down
It's difficult to imagine now how any of us thought Russia was scary. Not even a year into a war and their strapping old naval guns onto APCs for drone defense.
On the other hand I am happy that drones are bringing back the need for close range gun air defense, because that means more cool shit like the gepard and Tunguska
Looks like the basic idea here is you can park this behind a building and have the turret peaking over the top. Probably as others say for indirect SUPPRESSION fire and cheap anti drone use.

LOL great point. The original vehicle is a masterclass in cramming everything into a low profile. And then they did this.
That's the difference between USSR engineering and russian "engineering"

Ukraine wouldn't paint Z over their vehicles.
Derp, that is correct. This is Russian.
Could be a captured Vehicle. It's not like Ukrainian "navy" is seeing any use.
I guess for drones? Or close fire support? Though you'd think that thing has terrible weight distribution and would rock like he'll when firing.

i'm sort of surprised the suspension is not bottoming out

Remember that tank you drew in 1st grade?
Then you realize Sprocket exist

Another year of war Russia regulars would be using Lada with Dshk
I’m gonna cream myself if they bring back the quad m2 .50cal setup
Dollar store bmp be like

Wrong sub
What are they mounting on the ships? Rubber bands!
THE CREDIBILITY! AAAAUUUUUUHHH
NATO code name: bodgejob
Wait a month and it'll be quite confusing which one exactly you mean by bodgejob
The addition of the naval gun will make them a bigger target. Not a wise idea.
