"One lost Abrams is a tragedy. A hundred lost T-72s is a statistic." - Josef Stalin

It didn't become a norm. They welded THICK angle iron cages on top when they heard they had to fight Javelins and NLAWs (drones were not a concern). Those iron cages were useless against Jevelins/NLAWs or RPG-7s fired from rooftops. Now others have put on lighter cages to catch drone drops before they slip down an open hatch. Totally different purpose, and it's efficiently made with lighter materials.

There's telegram channels saying one of the first "turtle" tanks had a damaged traverse so it was modified like this instead of being sent back for repairs.

Russians put theirs once they were told they were invading Ukraine which had Javelins. Israelis put theirs when they were about to fight an enemy known to use quadcopters to drop bombs.

@vvcwwc The dragon's teeth did nothing. Russia just mined the entire frontline with several minefields of depth. Basically no country on Earth had devised a strategy against 5 minefields of depth, MICLIC charges can only clear 100-120 meters and the minefields were 500 meters deep. And unlike German generals said, Ukrainians couldn't "go around". Let's have a computer simulation and re-run the Zaporizhzhia offensive, but with zero mines. The Russian lines would have collapsed on contact as Ukrainian armor would reach the trenchlines with almost no losses. The Russian defense was based on mines. The Ka-52s, the artillery, the ATGMs, all relied on armor getting bogged in minefields.

@vvcwwc Gracious youtube shadow banned my comment. Dragon's teeth did NOTHING. It was 100% the landmines that stopped the offensive.

We are training them wrong, on purpose.

How were Russians the first to use drones? ISIS in Iraq had one of the first confirmed uses of quadcopter against tank. The first airbase attack by cheap drone was against the Russian air base in Syria.

It's illegal to use in civilian areas. It's legal to use in battle if you have not signed the treaties (neither Russia or the US signed).
