Julian Röpcke, a journalist for the German newspaper, admired the canopy for Russian T-72 tanks, which protects the combat vehicle from FPV drones. According to him, the invention looks ridiculous, but has already proven its effectiveness.
These machines, which were initially laughed at, turned out to be T-72s. On the outside, they have armor so strong that FPV drones don't stand a chance of breaking through it
In addition to armor, the T-72 is equipped with powerful electronic warfare (EW) systems. They do not allow enemy drones to get close to the tank.
The anti-drone body kit for tanks was developed by the Russian military themselves. They used improvised materials.
Later, Rostec specialists took into account the experience of combat operations and began mass production of enhanced protection against UAVs. It began to be installed on the T-72B3. The factory body kit looks like a simple but effective solution.
