.IN LATE 2021 Russia started welding steel crates over the belfries of its own tanks, in an effort to guard all of them from attack. The cages proved inefficient-- some Western side analysts jokingly termed all of them "emotional-support armour".

The new armour has made the cars the label "tortoise tanks". Will kitting them out thus definitely assist?
