Russian T-72B3M Tanks Now Protected in a New Way: Using Fiberglass Rebar

This protection can withstand multiple FPV drone hits

In addition to mesh "barbecue grills," Russian tank units have begun using a "dome" made of fiberglass rebar to protect the T-72B3M turret for flexibility, so that the drone does not detonate, but gets entangled in the nets or bounces off them.

Immediately under the "dome" is a strong frame, which is called a "barbecue grill," on which dynamic protection and various types of radio-electronic suppression devices are also installed.

This protection allows you to withstand multiple hits from FPV drones and maintains the ability to rotate the tank turret around the entire circumference.

For covert location at intermediate stopping points and movement, the tank hull is covered with an additional camouflage kit, which reduces the vehicle's visibility in the infrared spectrum. It is IR cameras that are often used by night drones to search for targets.

Earlier www1.ru reported that the "Caliber" and "Onyx" carriers, the frigates "Admiral Gorshkov" and "Admiral Kasatonov," have entered the Barents Sea.
