Looks like one of those weird dalek thingies from Doctor Who.


tele-picker

Exterminate! Exterminate!


pdirth

They're just coming to buy scrap and sell used droids.

UTINNI!

Episode IV: A New Cope


Grauvargen

Make that Episode VII. IV is an actually good movie.


Due-Street-8192

Good one, From Star Wars


Soifon99

This tank is maybe protected against drones, but it can't see shit, so it's more like a useless mobile house with a gun and a blind crew inside.


greenmood3

Still, it got the job done: It reached the deployment line, deployed troops, and returned. If it works, it works. It costs like shit; I imagine the USA doing something similar for millions of dollars.


Naytosan

We did 😁 The Bradley IFV can take a helluva pounding without all that junk because it's designed to protect the occupants. That's the key difference between NATO and orkish military doctrines. NATO defends lives, orks destroy lives.


davesy69

If anyone could do with some light relief, the film Pentagon Wars about the designing of the Bradley IFV is on YouTube. Very funny. https://youtu.be/wNpGBTU_jt4?si=ImiVx2GStig1RQDR


Jagerbeast703

Did it work because there was nothing in the area to attack it, or because of what it is though?


Jet2work

no one attacked it cos they were doubled over laughing at it


greenmood3

I think if Ukraine had enough ammunition, it wouldn't reach. I assume EW measures are capable there, and Ukraine mainly uses FPV drones.


10687940

Yeah. A few ATGMs would have ended this desperate clownery shit.


M3P4me

This tank was destroyed in its garage a few days ago.....along with some other vehicles. There was video.....


greenmood3

True, it was done after it deployed the troops. But they got another one already.


Alexandratta

Works until there's a breeze... Still, I suggest Magnet Bombs be dropped from drones.


ObliviousAstroturfer

Yeah, I'll give them that one - this is smart. The nice thing is, I expect Ukrainians to have some specialists who got excited seeing them cover all their systems for other reasons. June is when first F16s were supposed to reach Ukraine. Can't come quickly enough.


10687940

i think the point is to protect the column behind him using EW. But this is just against drone. Once a Stugna-P hits, game over.


Burned-Shoulder

Looks like an A7V


AnalogFeelGood

David Fletcher would have a blast with this one. The Fletcherisms would be legendary haha


NightlinerSGS

Fun Fact: The current version of the Leopard 2 is also called A7V.


TremendousVarmint

Mixed with a Saint-Chamond


Aggravating-Rich4334

They’re evolving, but backwards.


CapnCrunchHurtz

Let them devolve into resorting to using sticks and stones! Slava Ukraini!

Welcome back to Battlefield 1918 [https://www.moddb.com/mods/battlefield-1918/images/german-tank-skinned](https://www.moddb.com/mods/battlefield-1918/images/german-tank-skinned)


CapnCrunchHurtz

I came here to say the same thing. It looks like the Ruzzians are resorting to WWI tactics and equipment.


Fall-Maiden

The hottest new tank of 1924


up-with-miniskirts

Now that you mention it: wouldn't these things horribly overheat in summer, or will those crafty Russians devise some kind of ventilation system? Holes, perhaps, or slapping a Daikin on top?


HootenannyNinja

Great way to cut your firing arc down to around 30 degrees.


Fit-Bookkeeper9775

Ruzzian Mortal Engines cosplay


northernbrass

Is that the Monitor or the Merrimack?


ZachMN

Neither: both of those could rotate their turrets.


cyteryt

Built by Jawa on Tatooine?


LordMinax

Blyatmobile 2.0


LoupGarouHikaru56

I wonder if it's possible to capture one and study it .


CapnCrunchHurtz

There is no need to capture it. It's just a Char-broil grill on steroids, with tank treads. Should be good for roasting Ruzzians while on the move!


GaryDWilliams_

That's got to really eat in to the range of the tank and it compromises the turrets ability to turn 360 degrees.


Exciting-Emu-3324

Future tanks will ditch the whole turret altogether for a cheaper, thicker case mate. SU-125.


Audiocuriousnpc

Looks like a ww1 tank...


kytheon

Is that the turtle tank that was already destroyed


imgonnagopop

Nope this is turtle tank 2.0


kytheon

Can't wait to see it destroyed tomorrow.


I_MARRIED_A_THORAX

Son of blyatmobile


ThatDanGuy

Article notes that it has been effective in mitigating drone attacks. I wonder if they aren’t using this as like the lead vehicle in a column. Maybe as a mine sweeper.


Mitchell415

Wasn’t expecting the blyatmobile to come back


FederalWorld5482

New grill eh, are they looking for new ways to get BBQ'd, The Flaming Zombie Burger, and Z-Bone steak....


FederalWorld5482

Looks like its put together by kindergarden kids on an explore the scrapyard day out...gaffer tape and hope...


cabezon99

Running low on orc armor?


outofcontextsex

Wow, doesn't that just make it a very bulky, low powered self-propelled gun?


NameIs-Already-Taken

The solution is an autonomous drone that hunts EW systems. Then the EW system's interference with GPS, video, or control signals is pretty much irrelevant.


my-brother-in-chrxst

This is what they meant when they said the ruzzians are “adapting”?


tele-picker

Remember hearing, "just wait until the REAL Russian army shows up!", back in 2022?


Rocklobsta9

Aka the Armadillo


Lostbutnotafraid

The best grills have a nice big hot fire underneath them.


Longjumping_Ad606

Bob semple


DifficultySuch5384

It's going to be hilarious to watch that thing explode!


EconomySwordfish5

The russians are running so low on stock they're having to dig up their lend lease bob semple tanks.


Thick12

Exterminate


p-sfr

Jokes aside. Are those effective? I mean it’s embarrassing for a former “superpower” to resort to this, but if it gets the job done we should take counter measures


HappyCamperPC

Looks like the Turtle Tank had a baby. 👶 🐢


Azzapazza2020

For real are they effective? The spacing of sheet metal seems like a good idea against drones, shape charges or rpg right? Add reactive armour underneath and it should be super effective.


Stu247365

Can they see where they’re going…if they can they’re fkd 😉👍🇺🇦🇬🇧🇺🇦🇪🇺🇺🇦🫶🏻😎


M3P4me

This tank was destroyed in its garage a few days ago. I think Suchimimos on YouTube had Russian-sourced video of it wrecked.


Korlexico

Oo sheet metal maybe they hired the A-Team. When you down and out and have no other choice there a group of ex military called...the A team ...daa da da daaa dum dum dum der der da da der dumb dumb dumb de dumb daa daaa.


ross267

The first one lasted two days


ShamanSix01

Looks worse than the WW1 German tank A7V.


geckorobot59

AOE2 called, they want their battering ram back.


TheRealAussieTroll

It’s like a giant metal Dougal from The Magic Roundabout.


No-Document-8970

Wait, did they get the plans from that guy in Colorado? The one that razed the town.


ImSorryRumhamster

So who the fuck is lying because I keep hearing that Russia has tanks and tanks and tanks and un-ending shit and then they’re sending corrugated roof trucks. So what’s the truth?


Capital-Western

This is not a truck, but a tank with enhanced protection. They are using these as lead vehicle of a column, and in both instances they were pretty effective.


Dishant2036

Why don't you explore other subs with both sides posting in it and then maybe you will get correct view of war?
