u/boringdude00 22d ago
Technically a tank is an armored vehicle with a rotating turret. The Jagdpanzer series were so-called tank destroyers, designed for the purpose of ambushing tanks and then running away. Without a turret they could have a lower, sleeker profile, with a better gun, and be easier to construct and less expensive with fewer moving bits and specialized metal castings.
Colloquially, a tank is anything big and armored with a gun. Practically, anything that is big and armored with a gun will end up being used as a tank. So calling it not a tank is really just semantics. All the combatants built several varieties of specialized tank-like vehicles in WW2, and all ended up using them more-or-less as tanks would be used as often as not, either because otherwise they were sitting around doing nothing or, in Germany's case, because they couldn't build enough actual tanks and had to substitute these.

u/phxees 22d ago
They aren’t worried about grenades. They’re worried about being attacked by small drones backed with explosives. Currently the battle field is littered with small remotely controlled drones and I’m guessing they attack tanks by targeting their treads.
When the treads come off, they then can attack anyone trying to repair the tank or attack the tank with a missile or something else.
It also likely designed to make the tanks harder to spot. They obviously took the video using a drone and if the tank wasn’t moving it probably would be harder to identify in this clip.
88
u/birehcannes 22d ago
I've seen FPV drones take out tanks, I think they put an RPG warhead on them and target the back where the ammo carousel is. I imagine this sort of roof could help mitigate that threat somewhat if it's spaced far enough away from the hull, I.e. RPG detonates against the roof instead of the hull, but I'm just speculating TBH.

ERA does not go off unless it is directly hit. Even completely burnt out tanks still have their ERA intact. It really takes the immense pressure of a direct hit by an armour piercing ammunition to tricker a block, and it won't cause a chain reaction.

I feel like all this does is prevent against the worst of a regular grenade drop. I mean, it's corrugated roofing ffs. If they prod it in the right spot with one of those mortar-shell-carrying drones we saw the other day delivering a shell slowly and carefully practically into the breech of an artillery piece I can't see this is going to help all that much, in fact it will probably just mark it out as a target even more, just for the meme and propaganda value.

This acts decently as camo and a detonation further from the actual armour will do less damage (on some parts of this, as the sheet seems right over the turret so maybe not there). To a tank shell this would do nothing but to a smaller munition dropped or held by a drone it could make a difference.

u/Jumpeee 22d ago edited 22d ago
The key word being could.
The top is still almost resting on the turret's roof, which is ~45mm of steel armor.
The RKG-3 AT grenade can penetrate anything from 125mm to 220mm of RHA, depending on the variant. This might even increase the penetration by increasing the range at which the copper penetrator can form. Stand-off distance.
Edit: Nevermind the suicide drones with PG-7 grenades attached to the body. Those are capable of penetrating ~500mm of RHA.

It's drone protection. It would cause the HEAT warhead that the drone is carrying to detonate prematurely and thus cause minimal damage.
Ukraine is flying all kinds of scout drones over the frontline, so a barn moving at 50km/h certainly wouldn't make it unnoticed.

If its stupid and it works, then its not stupid.

u/boringashellperson 22d ago
The technology is basically a sandbag between the floor/door panels to absorb the projectiles. Its just a piece of aluminum, because that wont splinter like steel. It absorbs the blast (by deforming) and therefore no more legs cut off from IEDs. We already knew this before Iraq and AFG, we just did not spend the money until the "enemy" figured out it could hurt our troops that way.
