Russian soldiers equipped the MT-LB tracked tractor with a solid structure with rubber screens to protect against drones. Photos of the machine with an unusual "king-grill" were published by the Telegram channel "Sith Corner."
The machine received a steel frame that covers the stern, sides and roof. On the metal structure, you can see rubber screens and grates with chains. The space between the roof of the MT-LB and the roof of the "grill" is used as an additional landing compartment.
The MT-LB was adopted in 1964. The 9.7-ton floating vehicle received an engine with a capacity of 240 hp. The steel armor of the MT-LB protects the crew and troops from bullets.
Earlier www1.ru reported that Russian military turned the T-80BV tank into a makeshift heavy armored personnel carrier.
