A new Russian weapon in Putin’s invasion war against Ukraine is astonishing. A bizarre T-72 tank, fitted with extra armor that almost completely encloses it, is seen in drone video leading a convoy into battle. The ‘turtle shell’ was apparently put together improvised.
Internet videos show the Russian ‘turtle’ slowly rolling across a field littered with artillery craters near the small town of Krasnogorovka in eastern Ukraine. When the convoy comes under fire, the vehicles turn around and withdraw. Military experts are now wondering what this strange conversion is about and what Putin’s “tortoise” is used for. It is believed that the conversion is intended to make the underlying tank largely immune to a proven Ukrainian anti-tank tactic.
