Turtle tank: Russia's homemade answer to Ukrainian drone threat 'destroyed'

  • Russian forces have modified one of their main battle tanks with some less than cutting-edge protection by covering it with a sheet metal structure so it resembles a shed.
    Dubbed the 'Turtle Tank', videos of the unconventionally adapted vehicle operating on the frontline have been widely circulating and widely ridiculed at the same time on social media.
    One theory is that the modification offers extra protection to soldiers riding on the tank guarding against Ukrainian drone strikes.

But they are getting battle tested and so is their equipment. Changes are made where needed. Their hypersonic missiles are being tested and refined. The US is struggling just to get one that works.
