Chinese-made Hushi armored vehicles were spotted in the special operation zone

Chinese Hushi armored vehicles were spotted in the area of the special military operation. Wheeled vehicles manufactured by the People's Republic of China are used by Russian military personnel.

The equipment placed at the disposal of the fighters received additional protection from FPV drones (First Person View) and ammunition dropped from copters. The body of the armored car is covered with lattice screens, and a "grill" is installed above the place of the machine gunner — a design to protect the upper car from kamikaze drones and projectiles dropped from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

The four-wheel drive Hushi has a curb weight of 6.5 tons and a 200 horsepower engine. On the highway, the car can reach speeds of up to 115 kilometers per hour. The range of the armored car is 600 kilometers. It can accommodate 10-11 military personnel, depending on the modification.

Russian equipment is protected from drones by nets and "mangalas"

Military expert, captain of the first rank of the reserve Vasily Dandykin said that camouflage nets and "braziers" have proven themselves well in protecting Russian equipment from enemy drones.

The UAVs get stuck in the nets, and the "braziers" do not allow them to throw grenades inside the car and harm the crew.

Also, according to the expert, electronic warfare (EW) systems are installed on combat vehicles, which are regularly upgraded. In addition, various equipment camouflage systems are widely used to protect against drones — this is especially true for tanks and artillery that fire from ambush.

"There are two ways of protection: active — electronic warfare, passive — "barbecues", disguise. There are also anti—drone rifles and simple shotguns — given the low speed of drones, they are also very effective," Dandykin added.

According to the driver of the tank with the call sign Rodriguez, the visor installed on the T-80BV to protect the upper hemisphere of the tank, which is called the "grill", saved the crew from UAVs several times.

There was an offensive, about 150 meters before the collision. We started working out, the command came from the commander, we turn the car around and leave. I start to turn it around, and the FPV [drone] catches up with us, and then with an RPG [projectile]. If it were not for this design, the same kamikaze or something else would immediately fly into the armor

The fighter said that in another battle, the additional protection withstood the hit of six drones, saving the car. The tank commander with the call sign Kot added that in the parking lot, the equipment is masked by trees, which prevent the tank from being viewed from a drone and provide additional protection.

In Ukraine, they called "barbecue tanks" invulnerable to drones of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

Retired Colonel of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) Oleg Starikov admitted that Russian "barbecue tanks" turned out to be invulnerable to FPV drones of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU).

The former military man expressed surprise at the fact that the AFU has to spend a lot of resources on tanks of the Russian army with such unusual protection.

The American edition of Forbes noted that Ukrainian troops are wasting UAVs in vain to fight Russian tanks equipped with solid anti-drone canopies.

"Layers of homemade armor installed in workshops near the front line protect turtle tanks from 100,000 FPV drones that Ukrainians release monthly against the advancing Russians," the journalists pointed out.
