First Look Inside a Russian Turtle Tank Captured in Ukraine

Check out our reader funded national security publication: Full video can be found here: Finally we’re able to see the details of one of these. This one is built on top of an old T-62 tank that is essentially just a troop carrier now. The barrel isn’t able to traverse and there was no ammunition in the tank itself. The ERA blocks were empty, sheet metal on the sides offers limited protection but the focus seems to be countering drones. There were a handful of electronic countermeasures layered on top, however those didn’t stop the Ukrainian drone from disabling the vehicle. Not clear why this type of modified troop carrier is needed. It offers less protection and less firepower than a traditional APC or IFV. Twitter: TikTok: @prestonstew Instagram: Contact: preston@
