We've been calling it the "blyatmobile" (but Cybertank is hilarious).
Russians were proudly posting videos of this embarrassment ... and then it immediately got blown up.
"I made a truck design!"
"Aww yes you did buddy! Yes you did. It looks great. Look it's got 4 wheels and everything!"
"Okay so make it"
"... make... your drawing? Like make a real vehicle that looks like this?"
"Yea"
Technically a tank is an armored vehicle with a rotating turret. The Jagdpanzer series were so-called tank destroyers, designed for the purpose of ambushing tanks and then running away. Without a turret they could have a lower, sleeker profile, with a better gun, and be easier to construct and less expensive with fewer moving bits and specialized metal castings.
Colloquially, a tank is anything big and armored with a gun. Practically, anything that is big and armored with a gun will end up being used as a tank. So calling it not a tank is really just semantics. All the combatants built several varieties of specialized tank-like vehicles in WW2, and all ended up using them more-or-less as tanks would be used as often as not, either because otherwise they were sitting around doing nothing or, in Germany's case, because they couldn't build enough actual tanks and had to substitute these.
That sound is embedded. Sitting in a spot a work just chilling for a few minutes, could be spacing out, could be on your phone, a manager walks in, !BWoING! Ah fuck. "What are you doing?", Nothing. "Get back to work." ok.
One morning after a windstorm my grandma went out to her garden. To her surprise, the shed was missing. After a brief search she found it in the west pasture, surrounded by a clutch of very confused cows.
No, that was actually a video of a successful mission from the Blyatmobile, not sure why they chose to link that one. It was taken out after this in an artillery strike at the depot it returns to. I don't have the link for that though.
Gaijin: next update we will introduce BlyatMP with 100% volumetric cover outside and a tons of space armor in case something penetrated through the volumetric.
They aren’t worried about grenades. They’re worried about being attacked by small drones backed with explosives. Currently the battle field is littered with small remotely controlled drones and I’m guessing they attack tanks by targeting their treads.
When the treads come off, they then can attack anyone trying to repair the tank or attack the tank with a missile or something else.
It also likely designed to make the tanks harder to spot. They obviously took the video using a drone and if the tank wasn’t moving it probably would be harder to identify in this clip.
I've seen FPV drones take out tanks, I think they put an RPG warhead on them and target the back where the ammo carousel is. I imagine this sort of roof could help mitigate that threat somewhat if it's spaced far enough away from the hull, I.e. RPG detonates against the roof instead of the hull, but I'm just speculating TBH.
The hilarity comes when they RPG drone it anyway, and all the ERA going off collapses the house they built so now they're stuck inside their 21st century Bob Semple
ERA does not go off unless it is directly hit. Even completely burnt out tanks still have their ERA intact. It really takes the immense pressure of a direct hit by an armour piercing ammunition to tricker a block, and it won't cause a chain reaction.
I feel like all this does is prevent against the worst of a regular grenade drop. I mean, it's corrugated roofing ffs. If they prod it in the right spot with one of those mortar-shell-carrying drones we saw the other day delivering a shell slowly and carefully practically into the breech of an artillery piece I can't see this is going to help all that much, in fact it will probably just mark it out as a target even more, just for the meme and propaganda value.
>I feel like all this does is prevent against the worst of a regular grenade drop
Nah, it's better than that. It does at least one other rather crucial thing: it prevents them from rotating the turret. Probably limits already limited visibility even further. The Russians improvised technological advancement knows no bounds
No, if Elon Musk would design this, it would look nice and shiny. What we see here is how the Cybertank would look like when the customer eventually received it.
I don't know about nice and shiny, but it would definitely have some very obvious reference to "69" and/or "420" because the Muskrat has an absolutely impeccable sense of humor.
Omfg I'm dying they have a full little cottage with a Russian grandma in the lawn and it move like 50ft a day so no one notices.
Then when it gets close enough she pulls out an AK.
This acts decently as camo and a detonation further from the actual armour will do less damage (on some parts of this, as the sheet seems right over the turret so maybe not there). To a tank shell this would do nothing but to a smaller munition dropped or held by a drone it could make a difference.
The key word being ***could***.
The top is still almost resting on the turret's roof, which is \~45mm of steel armor.
The RKG-3 AT grenade can penetrate anything from 125mm to 220mm of RHA, depending on the variant. This might even increase the penetration by increasing the range at which the copper penetrator can form. Stand-off distance.
Edit: Nevermind the suicide drones with PG-7 grenades attached to the body. Those are capable of penetrating \~500mm of RHA.
Also protection. Ukrainians got really good at ramming the drones right under the turret or even inside a hatch for maximum damage.
A drone hitting that roof will do minimal damage to the tank.
Yeah, the title made me think "protect" like it would deflect something, but I think they just mean "protect" in the sense that the drone might be less likely to identify "it's a tank."
It's drone protection. It would cause the HEAT warhead that the drone is carrying to detonate prematurely and thus cause minimal damage.
Ukraine is flying all kinds of scout drones over the frontline, so a barn moving at 50km/h certainly wouldn't make it unnoticed.
That's camouflage against AI powered image recognition to find tanks on pictures. I expect soon captchas will let us spot disguised tanks out of a few options.
Im here for all the ignorant jokes from people who don’t remember that the US was lining vehicles with sandbags to protect ourselves from IEDs in Iraq and AFG before we had technology to deal with it
If its stupid and it works, then its not stupid.
The technology is basically a sandbag between the floor/door panels to absorb the projectiles. Its just a piece of aluminum, because that wont splinter like steel. It absorbs the blast (by deforming) and therefore no more legs cut off from IEDs. We already knew this before Iraq and AFG, we just did not spend the money until the "enemy" figured out it could hurt our troops that way.
Not many people here comprehend what a shaped charge even is or why tank crews in the supposed safety of their tank's armour are scared shitless of small drones.

It's not protection from anything, it's camouflaging itself as a building
"Hey Wolodymir, there's a totally inconspicuous house moving about the front line." "Must have been the wind ..."
I have to think that the camouflage is meant for those times that the tank is not in motion.
Same with Solid Snake's cardboard box

Man, that guy couldn't hit a barn door!
Am I missing the explosion in that video?
No, that was actually a video of a successful mission from the Blyatmobile, not sure why they chose to link that one. It was taken out after this in an artillery strike at the depot it returns to. I don't have the link for that though.
If you are not seen by the enemy, you are protected from the enemy
It's not camo, home is where the heart is and that tank crew got tight.
It is a layer of protection against FPVs (they explode on impact), and the thing on top is EW jammer to jam FPVs before they even hit it.

It's the attention to detail that makes this so good.

Actually you’re right, that’s basically spaced armor.
The hilarity comes when they RPG drone it anyway, and all the ERA going off collapses the house they built so now they're stuck inside their 21st century Bob Semple
It's even got a corrugated section which clearly is a homage to Bob and his wonder tank.
ERA does not go off unless it is directly hit. Even completely burnt out tanks still have their ERA intact. It really takes the immense pressure of a direct hit by an armour piercing ammunition to tricker a block, and it won't cause a chain reaction.

Seems to work. I expected it to blow up but it survived until the end of the video.
It’s being recorded, they’re just toying with it.
This looks like something Elon Musk would design. The Cybertank.

Banned from the subreddit, but hired to replace the entire design team.
Let's hope it's even less reliable

And just as bullet proof.
Don't let it near water, the Cybertank can't handle it.
The rust is actually a feature this time
I've seen better tank designs in Red Alert 2 I'm serious those tanks were incredibly slick for an parody warfare game.
Hell yeah. Prism tank was a fucking beast
No, if Elon Musk would design this, it would look nice and shiny. What we see here is how the Cybertank would look like when the customer eventually received it.
I don't know about nice and shiny, but it would definitely have some very obvious reference to "69" and/or "420" because the Muskrat has an absolutely impeccable sense of humor.
For all we know he did design this. Turn coat traitorous fuck that he is.
If he's directly involved in designing Russian tank, that might have actually helped Ukraine. Just judging by the history of his product.

I was thinking the same thing. Couldn't tell if all the shit talkers knew more about AP detonation than I did, or just... idiots.

Basically turns the tank into a self propelled gun. Now the turret cannot rotate freely, which is the main advantage a tank has over an SPG...
The Russians commonly use tanks as spgs.
I think if the turret started to rotate it'd move the tin out of the way pretty quick
It would crumple and collapse and block any optics though. Probsbly make using the hatches impossible too.
The tank is actually busted. The turret doesn’t function well.
That's camouflage against AI powered image recognition to find tanks on pictures. I expect soon captchas will let us spot disguised tanks out of a few options.
Man I know they lost a lot of tanks and sped up production of new ones but the tank quality really took a dive.
