Russian airborne infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs) have begun to be equipped with additional passive anti-drone protection in the form of steel cables. Among the military, this simple design has been nicknamed "dreads."
A paratrooper with the call sign " шпагат " explained that "dreads" are welded onto the places of military equipment where ordinary passive protection cannot be welded due to the design. For example, on the front hemisphere of a combat vehicle
So that FPV drones don't fly to us. We can't weld ordinary passive protection here, we need our turret to rotate. And this [steel cables] helps us to some extent.
In addition to steel cables, the paratroopers' IFVs were equipped with a frame with a steel mesh and electronic warfare (EW) systems. There is thick rubber on the sides to protect against HEAT rounds.
It should be noted that previously, innovative "dreads" made of steel cables were only noticed on main battle tanks. The advantage over the "mangal" is the increase in the protection area and the ability of the turret with the gun to work on targets without restrictions.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that the manufacturer of T-90M "Proryv" tanks introduced a four-day work week for some employees.
