As explained, the reason for this transformation is quite obvious – the airspace above the modern battlefield is now saturated with shock FPV drones and barrage ammunition capable of immobilizing and then destroying any armored vehicles.

According to the author, while protection in front and on the sides of armored vehicles can still reduce the likelihood of damage to some extent after the first hits, strikes in the upper hemisphere and in the stern, where the MTO is located, are the most dangerous. In this regard, Russian specialists are developing new technical solutions.

To enhance the protection of the upper hemisphere, the turrets of almost all tanks, armored personnel carriers, infantry fighting vehicles and BMDS have visors with skeleton armor, nets to protect against UAVs, active protection elements, camouflage materials and portable electronic countermeasures systems that allow you to block the control channels of FPV drones. The feed is covered with multilayer rubber sheets.
- the conclusion is made in the Western press.
