Yes, I can make out the ECM, just wondered if they had mounted it on a smaller cupola and thrown it on the roof. My vision is not what it was, hence a lot of misspellings and punctuation of late. Causing me to have to go back and edit posts when I catch it.

Something similar already being worked on it would seem!
Turtle tank on the move (Benny Hill style footage)

H.P.
With the destructive power of anti-tank missiles currently on the battlefield, the Rus have proven the ineffectiveness of the cope cages. These turtle shells aren’t going to help them either - so if they’re intended to defeat drones, why not just use a simple grid of wire with one foot square spacing? You can’t fly a drone through it, and it would certainly save on weight, and allow the commander better situational awareness.
So, bedspring armor? That’s what I think of as ‘wire grid’ armor. I’m not educated enough on whether that was ever truly successful, but I don’t recall seeing it used after WWII which is telling.

That’s the footage I saw, although it was longer, it really is like a benny hill chase, I can hear the music in my head
Another view of the ECM package:
So no sort of cupola underneath. Must make it a lot of fun getting in and out of that tank. Especially when it’s on fire.

place your bets folks and see which company releases this as a 3D printed accessory soon.
I’m already looking at cold remedy blisters. This would be ridiculously easy to vacuformas well.

If so, then it calls into question the effectiveness of the mine roller.

Not a problem. No need for a copula as the turret comes off.

This is the same tank
Looking at the damage make you wonder if there is a problem with the mine clearing gear?
Just to be clear, it’s the same tank as I posted earlier, not the same tank as the destroyed one posted after.

It is unclear if it hit a mine. Reports suggest it was disabled by artillery - either way, a drone then dropped a thermobaric grenade through the open driver’s hatch.
The footage of its destruction is available on YouTube vlogs.
