But it seems Kyiv’s troops have found ways to overcome the added protection.

The extra turtle armour did serve it's purpose, managed to absorb multiple drone strikes before being destroyed

In any war taking out a tanks tracks will render it useless and very vulnerable. In WW2 the Germans produced an excellent gun platform called a Jagd Panther. They were able to destroy most less powerful allied tanks on mass. However, hitting their wheels and tracks usually did sufficient damage to render them non operational and the restricted gun movement rendered them useless to defend themselves. Often abandoned by their crew's who often destroyed their own vehicles. It would seem that the Russians have now arrived at the same problem. They don't have many of these contraptions and so when they appear they will become a priority target.

Judging from all these footage of downed tanks, it would seem that the Achilles Heel of these Turtle tanks really are their heels (tracks). Once these tanks have been tracked, they can't even use their turrets or mounted guns effectively due to the corrugated shed on their head.

I haven't got time to filter through at the war thunder veteran comments on the so-called "turtle tanks' but of those only one "got it". The turtle achieved it's tactical aim of providing a very hard nut to crack while providing fire support for whatever its tactical objective was. Yep several of them were destroyed in the process. They also provided an important distraction to the Ukrainian for the UAV operators - what else was going on that the these drone operators could have been used against? I'd suggest the Russians know exactly what they are doing as demonstrated by their relentless advance against the Ukrainian positions. The thing about the Russians is that from time immemorial they have encouraged everyone to underestimate them and look at you all, only too keen to fall prey to yoursheeple mentality in underestimating the Russians. Let's have look at those who have underestimated Russia in the past Napoleon, and the results today thereof. Russia has managed to claw back pretty much every scrap of land taken off them and defeat every major invading force since 1242. Do keep on underestimating them won't you?

всего один пострадал и то его эвакуировали, экипаж жив, , а сотня других "черепах" продолжают штурмовать нацистофф

Looks like a ww1 A7W

At first, Ukraine used less expensive drones but with the rusty metal sheats on the cover, they need stronger and heavier drones for the job.

It’s just drone and artillery bait.

Why do we only see FPVs in action these days? Has Ukraine used up all its Javelins?
