.IN LATE 2021 Russia started assembly metal crates over the turrets of its tanks, in an effort to safeguard all of them from strike. The crates confirmed inefficient-- some Western experts jokingly called all of them "emotional-support armour". Currently Russia has launched a a lot more intensive retrofit, making use of metallic bed linen to entirely enclose a number of its containers. The brand-new armour has gained the vehicles the label "tortoise tanks". Will kitting all of them out by doing this actually help?
