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 fighting vehicle
So that FPV drones don't fly at us. We can't cover ourselves here with ordinary passive protection, we need our turret to rotate. And this [steel cables] helps us to some extent.
In addition to steel cables, the paratroopers' IFVs are equipped with a frame with a steel mesh and electronic warfare (EW) systems. There is thick rubber on the sides to protect against HEAT projectiles.
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.
