Russian dreadlock-style tanks hit front lines to fend off drones

Russian tanks in the special military operation zone have been equipped with anti-drone “grills” that, from a distance, resemble dreadlocks - a hairstyle made of rope-like strands of hair. 

The protective structure is installed on the tank turret in the form of a "grill" made of reinforced industrial steel cables.

“We have designed these ‘dreads’ all by ourselves. Thanks to them, the cumulative jet of an enemy FPV drone detonates outside the tank's armor without damaging it, a tank commander with the call sign, Fedya, told Sputnik. 

He added that his tank - which is part of the 150th Guards Motor Rifle Division with the Tsentr battlegroup – was also equipped with an electronic warfare system designed to tackle the Ukrainian army’s unmanned aerial vehicles.
