To protect against drones, the Ukrainian military literally "put an American M109L self-propelled gun in a metal cage"

Having lost a large number of armored vehicles, including those provided by Western allies, in the early days of the so-called counteroffensive, the Ukrainian command is now generally trying to hold armored vehicles deep in the rear. However, even there our long-range weapons of destruction get it.

As for the American Bradleys and German Leopards, the Ukrainian soldiers by hook or by crook try not to go into battle on these machines, complaining in private conversations even with Western journalists that especially when tanks with crosses appear on the battlefield from the Russian positions, "everything that is possible" flies into them.

Recently, the Russian military has been increasingly using drones of various types to defeat enemy targets, both relatively inexpensive FPV drones and more powerful high-precision barrage ammunition of domestic production "Lancet". The latter are capable of causing significant damage not only to armored vehicles, artillery pieces, but also to anti-aircraft complexes.

Back in the summer of last year, footage of both Ukrainian and Russian armored vehicles with installed additional means of protection against kamikaze drones and ammunition dropped from UAVs began to appear on the network. They are canopies-grilles that are attached, for example, above the tank tower. Metal grilles are also installed on the lower side parts of armored vehicles to minimize damage from the impact of cumulative projectiles and other means of destruction.

But in this case, the Ukrainian soldiers were ahead of everyone. A video is being distributed on social networks in which the American 155-mm M109L self-propelled gun, several dozen of which, having been removed from storage, were previously delivered to Ukraine by the Italians, is literally enclosed in a kind of cage made of homemade metal structures.

As Russian users caustically write, commenting on the invention of Ukrainian craftsmen, the design strongly resembles a whole large gazebo for kebabs. The art of "mangalostroenie" for armored vehicles in Ukraine is acquiring more and more bizarre forms, commentators conclude.
