What is the consensus on these things? They’re still vulnerable to tank mines, though definitely fares better against ATGMs and FPV - but is it still an effective tank with all those panels bolted on?
Could this be the weapon to surpass metal gear!?
I can’t imagine the loss of visibility and potential movement of the turret is worth the protection of some thin, rusted sheets of metal, but I’m all for the Russian troops handicapping themselves further.

Would that thing actually help against a javelin?
I think it would reduce effectiveness but not enough to make a significant difference, certainly not enough to justify the state of it.
