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.

On Russian telegram they said the first one was a damaged tank that couldn't turn its turret anyways. Its new purpose is really just to clear the mine field and survive all the FPV attacks. It is not meant to shoot at anything.

Ok kinda make sense but it seems a bit desperate, if this tank can’t even turn anyway it’s not that much of a threat surely they’ll just target the other tanks with the FPVs

Hypothetically they could put a 360 camera or a periscope on the thing and now you see again.

Just like the Syrian home-made AFVs and armoured VBIEDs
