In all likelihood, the Russian tank was blown up by minefields and was unable to overcome them. A Russian tank with a huge anti-drone superstructure tried to storm the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces near Krasnogorovka, but was shot down.
Footage of the unusual combat vehicle was released by Sergei Sternenko.
The Russian car was fitted with a colossal sheet metal structure that resembled a mobile barn. It was complemented by an electronic warfare station for protection against attack drones. Mine trawls were also attached to the tank to clear the way. This tank in the “Syrian” style led a column of several infantry fighting vehicles, going to break through the Ukrainian positions. Sternenko emphasized that at the moment the Russian tactics are effective and should not be laughed at.
“It makes you laugh if you don’t know that it’s still effective ,” he said. However, the Ukrainian military was still able to stop him. Judging by the absence of a mine roller, it exploded on minefields. This is not the first such attack using Syrian-style tanks with large-scale anti-drone add-ons. A similar car was seen on April 16, also near Krasnogorovka. The vehicle, in addition to the Tsar-Grill, was equipped with an electronic warfare station that suppresses control signals from FPV drones and mine trawls.
The tank managed to reach the positions of the Ukrainian military and return unharmed, which indicates the effectiveness of such radical decisions. Similarly, the Russian military is beginning to modernize wheeled vehicles in the field, such as the Z-STS Akhmat. The armored vehicle was hung with metal mesh, covering it on all sides.
The structure has only one entrance in the form of a door located at the rear, so the only way to enter and exit the "barbecue" is to go through the door or crawl under the structure.
