Drones have come to define the war in Ukraine with both sides making prolific use of the them for observation and ordnance delivery.

Two weeks ago, we looked at a curious in-field adaptation carried out by a Russian unit operating near Krasnohorivka. A T-72 had been near totally enclosed by sheet metal to protect it from FPV drones. Various imagery showed the tank encased in a trapezoidal steel structure, giving the vehicle the look of a shed on tracks. Since then several other similar 'turtle' tanks have been seen in the fi...

Mi sembra che il regalo che aspettavi potrebbe essere a portata di mano!
1) calibre; 2) RKA; 3) reliable distance; 4) lifetime barrel. Save for the costs, the rest is unimportant.
masih boleh digunakan sehingga kini.saya suka melihat senjata api zaman dahulu.
Amazingly ambitious and a slightly similar system now on the new CT40 canon. The fact that you could carry 150 rounds on the gun and it would only weigh the same as the G3 with several hundred rounds is impressive. What stopped it being finally adopted by the German Army. 5.56mm standard? Reliability?
What the actual flocking hell? You couldn't pay me enough to attempt to fire this insane repurposing of a flare gun! Jesus christ. Edit all I can see is recruits blowing their fingers, hands and faces off.
how can expensive tanks still be a thing with cheap drone missles?
Hey bro, soon ELEPHANTS! Pooh-Thing is driving a powernation ongoing a tribute to Age Of Empires I & II. Cheers from Argentina. WOLOLO.
Ukraine: what a stupid idea!!! Stupid Russians!!!! Hey maintenance engineers, can you put the same thing on your tanks?
Bro what?😭 They've been using these tanks for warfare they're not made for. Hilarious shit
>muzzle loading >single shot >range in the double digits This war really is bringing up some blasts from the past
How about a video about how the 5.56 round is doing in Ukraine. They have various barrel lengths in use. Which version seems most effective?
It would be very interesting but it would be very difficult to get the necessary data to make conclusions.

These guys didn't know what they were talking about. What a bunch of dorks.
You sure about that nerd?
Ah yes rpg7… a classic… basic: no bs short range launcher.. perhaps we’ll see this launcher for awhile longer if the warheads it fires gets more advanced
Here to stay I'm sure. Thanks for watching.
😂😂😂 TT 7.62 mm 👎
Congratulations
Thank you!
this looks like something you'd craft in a video game
the ar18/ar15 is the modern day equivalent of the mauser action
For real. Thanks for watching
This was made on Sons of Guns....
What a blast from the past.
So a russian law
No not really, that would be things like the RPG18 and RPG22.
The US Army has been using this since the 90s.
Was that Clement Attlee in the suit firing one at the start ?…
It was indeed
use two mines one gets set off by the roller the other is set back 10ft or so and set off by a detcord.
look's like a wwl tank.
This is not a turtle! This is a grill!
Shed!
lots of gaps for drones to get in
Shermans mounted with 60 x 4.5 inch rockets were supplied to various US amored divisons in Europe. It would be far easier just to borrow them from the Americans than making these PIAT universal carriers. The 4.5 inch rocket had superior range and far heavier warhead than the PIAT.
Absolutely. Idle hands make interesting creations. This was never going to have the impact of 4.5in rockets but an interesting project none the less. Thanks for watching.
Nails can also be used . THE RED BULL GIVE YOU WINGS.😊😅😂
Come back with my dunny, Ivan!
Self loading rifle hmmm 7• 62 bullet with massive stopping power. Most armies used this in the 70s. 20 round magazine with trazer bullet
Anti tank weapons no tanks have a chance
TUTEL
Was the tide ever in their favour? They're insanely slow and clunky. They have no peripheral vision whatsoever. They can't even turn their turrets to engage any enemy that isn't directly in front of them. Unless their enemy is the broad side of barn, I don't see them actually winning any fights.
Ok but are these things even effective in combat? They look incredibly slow and ponderous. They’ve pretty much given up all mobility in the turret like the ood jagtiger tank destroyers in ww2. Mobility sucks. Visibilty sucks. Unless they’re engaging the broad side of a barn, right smack dab in front of them, I don’t see how these are serving any kind of combat role beyond just keeping their crew alive.
They keep using them 🤷♂️
The Saxon have similar performance as other cold war armored vehicles like American VC-200 and Soviets BTR.
The corrugated steel is NOT for armour: it is camouflage (1:27), the armour is underneath. Think of it. A tank disguised as an old Ukrainian barn, partially visible through the trees; empty, innocent and harmless. Undeserving of a drone attack. Russians are NOT dumb!
There's no armour between the corrugated metal and the tank hull. It's meant to act as spaced armour causing fpvs to detonate before reaching the hull. It's not camouflage as most barns don't have big pipes sticking out the front haha.
Type 69 could also have originated from Pakistan. Large numbers of Type 69 is held by PA and quite a few weapons were sold from Pakistan to Ukraine
That's interesting thank you, one of those weapons in UA that could have come from a lot of sources! Thanks for watching
Wow good idea
🏠 Tank ??
Oh Ukraine you missed a golden opportunity to sell all those pristine historical weapons. There's a very large market for that but now not many willing to buy from Russia so they will probably be lost when the soviets blow the mine when they lose it again.
oh boi is this where the helldiver anti-air burst rpg came from?
Ukraine is good guys. Israel is good guys. Makes sense.

the issue is, nobody is using bipedal mechs
