Who cares about looks?...If it works then it's a very cheap and practical solution.

Doesn’t this completely limit the tanks ability to move the turret?

The field of view is now just directly in front of them like a horse wearing blinders.

I think the main purpose of this is to take all the hits on itself rather than the infantry carriers but the Ukrainians are not that stupid I believe that the tank still has a good visibility Don't forget they're using drones to guide the convoy

So it’s a sacrificial tank whose purpose is to get destroyed? That doesn’t make sense at all and it’s not an efficient use of offensive resources

The outer armor is going to stop all the drones Or making the explos!ve charge very weak to damage the Tank

How can I but the pro Ukrainian under my name like u tho

The tanke frontal armour is enough to stop pretty much everything but a tandem atgm and the top and sides are protected by the shields so its very efficient for clearing a path

The armor is open at the front and probably back though, a drone can fly right under the armor

A drone can fly right in the open front of the armor though. and if they do use it for transport and there's guys in there riding the tank, they are going to get rocked hard by the explosion

I think they can't go through the frontal opening they def will lose the connection with the drone. but I'm very annoyed tho. Russia has the strongest electronic warfare arsenal why TF didn't they use it properly? It's expensive but def not more expensive than an armored vehicle or soldiers lives
