Videos circulated online in recent weeks indicate Russia is using metal, turtle-like protective caging to shield its armored vehicles from Ukraine's drones.
Russian forces have renewed attacks on Ukrainian front-line positions in the country's Donetsk region using tanks fitted with protective metal structures, new footage appears to show, as battles blaze on across the country.Ukraine's 79th Separate Air Assault Brigade, operating in eastern Ukraine, published a brief video on Tuesday, showing what it described as a 17-vehicle Russian assault on Kyiv's troops around the Donetsk village of Novomykhailivka.
Newsweek could not independently verify the clip published by the Ukrainian military, and has reached out to the Russian Defense Ministry for comment via email.Novomykhailivka sits on the front line to the southwest of the Russian-controlled Donetsk City, and directly south of the village of Marinka that Moscow captured in December 2023. It is near Vuhledar, a strategic settlement in southern Donetsk that has been the site of heavy fighting during the more than two years of full-scale war.
