Close-up footage of a Russian T-72 tank with a homemade Tsar-barbecue protection installed, designed to protect against drones, has been published. The protection was further strengthened by welding additional grilles onto the outer hull; in this configuration, the chance of hitting the tank with an FPV drone is minimal. Also, to combat mines, the T-72 tank was equipped with a KMT-7 track mine trawl with two roller sections; the trawl provides trawling against anti-track and anti-bottom mines with a reliability of 95%. Despite criticism of this design, it is now the most effective protection for a tank against drones.
