No Real Drone Jammers? Russian Troops Use Painted Pots to Trick Military Police.
It’s a Potemkin fix for a deadly shortfall in real protection.
Russian soldiers may be trusting their lives to kitchen cookware painted to look like sophisticated military equipment. The latest do-it-yourself MT-LB armored tractor in Russia’s arsenal appears to sport extensive drone protection, but those dome-shaped electronic warfare systems may actually be household pots designed to fool inspectors rather than stop Ukrainian drones.
For the unfortunate Russian crew of the improvised vehicle, the possible fakery is a tragedy in the making if and when the vehicle’s potentially fake defenses meet real Ukrainian drones. For the Ukrainian drone operators, the vehicular stagecraft is an opportunity—to knock out yet another Russian vehicle.
On Sunday, Andrey Rudenko, a Russian propagandist reporting from occupied Donetsk Oblast, highlighted the work of mechanics working for the Russian army’s 1st Guards Tank Army.
“Servicemen of the repair company of the motorized rifle brigade of the 1st Guards Tank Army of the west grouping of forces restore, repair and modernize military equipment,” Rudenko wrote. “Specialists are engaged in the repair of tracked and wheeled vehicles, including the replacement of engines and the installation of dynamic and anti-drone protection kits.”
Russia has been lying about their military capabilities for decades. If they're such a dominant force why is Ukraine still fighting? Why do they need conscription from prisons? Why do they need soldiers from north korea? Why do they need mercenary soldiers? Because they project strength when in reality their army isn't what they claim
"may actually be"
