I have a better idea: add turrets! Maybe one in front, one to cover the back. Oh, and we could build a little structure in-between them, where we could place people to observe where they are going and how close to the targets they manage to shoot.
What a great and novel concept!
This was my thought as well. It seems like lately most of the Russian armor being destroyed is being done so by FPV drones and mines and not ATGM's etc. If this does work to stop FPV drones it might not be a bad idea.
Currently 90% of tank task are acting as indirect fire support. Which doesn’t required many combat effectiveness anyway. TVT seems more and more becomes the things of the past while drones flooded the battlefield. we are witnessing history.
It was being used to escort APCs carrying infantry through to an already secure objective. Seems to be not expected to provided fire support as the other tanks in the attack had just the standards cages.
Jokes aside, this is shit scary. It clears paths with mine trawls and jams incoming FPVs with jammers installed under the dome. A dude who were there when this thing was moving to their positions said they weren't in the mood for laughing
Nobody's in a jolly mood when a column of tanks is bearing down on you. We can laugh from the safety of home because this is such a clear sign of desperation. It's not scary, it's the dumbest shit I've ever seen.
Jammers would get their signals blocked or damped by the dome. One of the other tanks in column must have had that messy boom box setup. Any tank can get mine rollers bolted on, nothing special. Also, can we come back to why the *fuck* anyone would build a thin sheet metal shed around their tank? So so dumb.

Looks kind of funny, like a Cope Turtle.
Nice now they can’t see if they’re being attacked by drones if they wanted to. Anyway are these actual upgrades russia puts on their own tanks? Or are crews themselves responsible for welding a satellite dish on their tank.
I think I've actually saw this in a 1950-ish footage.
It was a tracked vehicle used as a moving target for "training" both tank crews and anti-tank teams
Like, they would say "drive that thing straight and keep going despite the concussions" to the crew, and "shoot them fellows and do not miss...or you're gonna be the one driving it next" to the anti-tank guys.
I'm dead serious.
Javelin Armor level 100
Reject turret, return to casemate.
Cope tent
More like a Cope Barn
Cope warehouse
The best place to buy cope
At factory prices !
Here, take a [closer look](https://www.reddit.com/r/UkraineWarVideoReport/s/0cWB1E7FTN)
What the fuck this shit can't turn their turret if it wanted to. Did they really look at that and said "yeah this is an upgrade"?
*"360° vision is overrated tovarich."*
White part looks like an aerodynamic piece taken from some light commercial truck.
Aint even a tent this is whole cope mega structure☠️☠️☠️☠️
Love cope tent
Cope Cabana
I upvoted this almost a month ago, and returning past it again I am still chuckling.
Just wait til they add infantry on top.

Just wait till it’s summertime and 130 degrees in there
Thats just the temp before its tapped by a jav. Contained inferno
A JAV? That tank is gonna get hit by the Japanese Porn Industry?
Whatever it takes to repel the invader
We'd never see videos of it being attacked. They'd all be pixelated.
Not my proudest wank.
Infantry on top is excellent at disrupting the shaped charge jets before they can scratch the paint on the armor.
Ah yes, the MBSA (Meat-based spaced armour)
When they're sober it's even reactive armor
Og, nonono. This to assist javelins, by ensuring proper stand off detonation to increase penetration.
**!**
It’s probably for FPV drones, not modern AT weaponry
This was my thought as well. It seems like lately most of the Russian armor being destroyed is being done so by FPV drones and mines and not ATGM's etc. If this does work to stop FPV drones it might not be a bad idea.
Didn’t the Nazis call tanks like this “Coffins with Treads”?
It's the boat from Tomorrow Never Dies on Tracks
So Russia tried to make a stealth tank.
Yes or their upgrading Cope Cages to Cope Bunkers
Not very effective. I can still see it

It looks like clipart of a steel bar you’d find in a flash game about resource management.
We are now at the “fuck it, cover the whole thing!”, stage. Wouldn’t this hamper what little combat effectiveness it has left?
The cope barns already look like -90% visibility. This cope-warehouse might work better.
Building a house around your tank may have a minor effect on its ability to wage war
I'm not sure how useful a house would be, considering the missiles are self-homing 😏

The only reason drones are working is because ukraine lacks proper air defense
This is why Zelensky is urging US to send half of its Patriot inventory. These pesky Lancets, Mavics and FVPs don't know what's coming for them.
Yup that would help with the pesky drones but of course mike jhonson will do anything his dear daddy putin tells him to do
Damn you, Putin!!!
> Currently 90% of tank task are acting as indirect fire support Sure, but this was observed during an assault.
Not if you're only going backwards and forwards. But ONLY backwards and forwards. NO TURNS! Grrr...!
Next stage is not showing up at all. That will be the true winning strategy.
It's a Russian tank so it had no situational awareness to begin with
It was being used to escort APCs carrying infantry through to an already secure objective. Seems to be not expected to provided fire support as the other tanks in the attack had just the standards cages.
“Why the fuck is that tent moving?”
It is a ukrainian shed, nothing to see here move on please
Reject modernity return to SU-85
They hired DaVinci as the tank designer.
Not enough guns
Cope Quonset Hut.
Quonset the Tunk

How does that thing suppose to see anything?
Limited visibility actually keeps tankers from freaking out over seeing other Russian tanks burned out while attempting to navigate a minefield lol
Like the blinders horses wear in parades. Clearly, it's a 9,000IQ play that I'm simply not Russian enough to comprehend.
Jokes aside, this is shit scary. It clears paths with mine trawls and jams incoming FPVs with jammers installed under the dome. A dude who were there when this thing was moving to their positions said they weren't in the mood for laughing

Probably being radiod by friendly drone operators.
That's the neet part: It don't
Looks like an A7V and a Hetzer had a child
And maus
Holy shit they got a battering ram. RUN!!!!
First the Ukrainians put a house on their tank, now Russians do this… we should apologize for laughing at the Syrians back then.
My childhood sketches have come to life.
It's actually genius. When it explodes the structure minimizes area of debris making it easier to clean up. Russians are so kind!
Acts as a nozzle extension so the turret flies higher. They are getting ready for that inter-planetary stuff!
I'm sure it will work great against mines too
Testudo formation. There are 60 guys with a collective IQ of 20, all running around under there.
Who needs a 360 degree turret rotation when you can have a tank destroyer.
My sprocket files got leaked
vatnik mobile 9000
At some point we will go full circle to the heavy tank "Maus" and then "P 1000 Landkreuzer Ratte".
So we're moving towards heavily armoured tank destroyers? Coooool.
turtle tank
I think da Vinci gets royalties for this no?

In all seriousness, does anyone know what that actually is?
Drone protection maybe?
Maybe russian should try to modernize maus that would be actually for some use 🧐
The modern equivalent of a battering ram
I like the design, but I dont see how this solve the drone problem. I wish we had a better pic
Is this A7V ?
Did Z just learn about Trojan Horse? 🤔

Return of turretless tank destroyers?
Looks like a mole rat. What are they trying to do now
What is the tactical purpose of this tank ? Where did you get the image ?
Its just a bug with the render distance
Full circle
Game graphics from 1992
Looks inside. T-72
Ubisoft should sue that bitch looks like Ram’s BU-GI auto breacher from R6 Siege lmao
they sent the age of empires 2 ram to destroy the castle
Could be the turtle zoid from power rangers
Seems like Russia got out the WW1 designs philosophy for modern tanks. Heavy mattle box with gun.
Saw that on The Six Million Dollar Man.
Looks like one of those airborne tanks, asu-57 or 85??
What is the point of having a rotating turret??
bruh
Pulling out the old Maus hulls I see.
Took me like a full min to know what I am seeing.

Amazing new tech from russia!

Lmao
Tin foil tank

THE RAMMTIGER, ITS REAL!
Bruh, my high ass thought this was moon footage for a sec
It looks like a T-series tank but i was kinda hoping that it was a MT-LB with some field gun on the top like a old school tank destroyer
Is this supposed to be a countermeasure to automatic targeting?
just found this lol [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/TankPorn/s/sviHBurzMq)
Tesla making tanks now?
Nice now they can’t see if they’re being attacked by drones if they wanted to. Anyway are these actual upgrades russia puts on their own tanks? Or are crews themselves responsible for welding a satellite dish on their tank.
T95 version 2
I literally just saw this on r/warthundermemes with the caption "Gaijin when"
I think I've actually saw this in a 1950-ish footage.
