I guess no one read the story about U.S. Marines tricking an AI sentry by walking up to it dressed as a cardboard box . At night thermals are also used extensively to spot targets and this alters that profile as well . Finally ... since the Estoinian soldier couldn't figure out on his channel what the chains hanging around the turret ring and underneath the front the were for ... those are weak points often targeted by by FPV pilots . Make fun of the addons all you like but covering weak points , causing premature ignition and off angle hits is paying dividends for the Russians you can see daily on the map .... When the Filipinos were using aluminum hulled M113s more recently to engage separatist in urban fighting they strapped wood planks and multiple layers of cardboard on for more protection from RPG rounds . The separatist lost that fight ...

As practice has shown, war is not an exercise where everyone in polished helmets, ironed uniforms and super expensive and technologically advanced tanks and equipment perform combat missions with a virtual enemy. War is dirt, a mess of everything, revealing all the problems and shortcomings at once, a constant shortage of everything. Therefore, when you see how a country demonstrates its strength, conducts its exercises for show, most likely, in reality they will all be ground into dust in the first weeks, until their command and those who survived understand how to fight. And sometimes an old tank can be more effective than a super-technological one (which will stall in the first puddle), and a cheap drone can be more effective than super-expensive missiles

I mean, what it mostly shows is how if you're only doing something in a pinch, with a couple of guys at most and some tools, it aint gonna have complex shapes and a lot of integration or streamlining, things will look boxy and use basic shapes. That's what seperates us from those people a hundred years ago or even older civs going back thousands of years, think of ancient war machines etc. It takes a big company and engineering department and a huge team effort to come up with all these fancy designs, but then when shit hits the fan and there's a need to improvise, things tend to look this way. Btw, a T-72 is still an incredibly complex and sophistacted machine in every regard if you think about it, and even that doesn't suffice against a 1kg bomb strapped to a drone! Also interesting to point out that during ww1, they had like crews of 8 or more, and a lot of machine gun positions, so that requirement in itself caused them to be boxy and large.

its an interesting concept, I wonder if we will see more armored tanks in the future to deal with drone attacks from the air, but once again depends on the payload of the drones too.

actually quite good camouflage if the tank is stationary.

You mention their use as breacher vehicles. If I remember my news reports correctly, this is likely because Ukraines favorite tactic to wipe out advances is to disable the lead vehicle with mines or drones and then use artillery to wipe the column behind as they stop and regroup. By using a mine plow to clear the road for the column and a turtle to prevent the lead vehicle from being disabled by drone, it would make their columns much more lethal unless Ukraine can step up their use of anti-tank missiles

They also tried the wet stacked cardboard, and it worked. Because the RPG munition the insurgents used are home made or old anti personnel weapons. Tho it could still be effective against APCs if the rocket hit the right angle, so they needed some extra protection.

Good example of the KISS principle.

It is still sheet metal, which makes it vulnerable to high speed munition, though also I've been curious about the viability for a kind of drone-mine, a drone landing in front of the target vehicle while carrying charge, then acting as remote or impact explosive.

I think that these sheet also protect against many types of attacks ... - You can't see the tank - and that-for don't know where the weakness is. - piercing bullets will penetrate the first shield - but start to tumble that-for reducing their impact dramatically - hollow bullets will explode about half a meter to early - also reducing their effect - to penetrate the real armor of the tank. It comes at the cost of being highly visible and have low awareness of the surroundings. But from what I think - this tanks are on the field to be shot at - with anti-tank rounds that cost several thousand dollars each.

You know, it always seems like war eventually boils down to this. These highly intricate and complicated ways to protect a tank and eventually someone does something like this in the field and it works well enough to keep being used

I wonder if it's a layer to help deflect the shape charges being dropped on them to give them a buffer zone for the penetrating jet to be deflected by the actual tanks armor? The thin metal layer makes the bomb / projectile pre-detonate... Maybe???

We have gone full circle. The tanks in WWI were like this, the turret did not rotate and were built to offer some protection to the soldiers inside the tank ignoring mobility or firing ports.

Mobility means nothing now where drones can go much faster and also provide great overview off battlefield and you have artillery that in combination with watch drones are very precise. I think future off tanks are some slow giant metal boxes with 10 layers off protection

Another advantage I see is, it will be more difficult to spot with drones in an urban area if the tank does not move.

The sheet metal throws off the drones' detonation range proximity sensor, making it fire early, at a wrong distance from the real armor, making the exploding warhead ineffective in penetrating the armor.

Finally a Tank I think I can build a scale version of!

Who knows , maybe there is some kind of shape reconnaissance on the drones or antitank weapons and with that you can cheat the systems..

They managed to change a MBT into an assault gun. The turret couldn't turn much anymore.

If you make that shed ten times larger, the drone operator won't realize what specific spot inside the shed the tank is in. Consequently, he won't be able to aim. The chances of saving the tank will increase. It is also useful to stop the barn from time to time and move the tank inside it to a new location. To do this, you have to equip the shed from the inside with mounts all around it, so the tank can lift it anywhere and drive on. For shooting, cut five or six loopholes in each wall of the barn. More is possible, it depends on the size of the barn. The enemy will not know from which window death will fly to him. The tank will become truly invulnerable. Tzar Turtle.

I must stress the fact that the shell alone won't stop a PG7 warhead from penetrating the tank armor underneath, but the added silhouette could lead to a bad shot placement, with the penetrating jet missing the tank hull or turret entirely.
