Putin deploys barmiest ‘turtle tanks’ yet as Soviet-era armour hits battlefield shielded by steel shed & chain fringe

Having lost almost all of his modern military hardware since the beginning of the war, Vladimir Putin has used his most peculiar “turtle tanks” to yet.

As they struck the battlefield in Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine, on Tuesday, the artifacts from the Soviet era were visible beneath steel plates and chain fringes.

Originally deployed by the Soviet Union in 1976, the T-80 tanks have come to represent Russia’s degrading dependence on antiquated military hardware.

The purpose of the makeshift armor is to protect Vlad’s depleting forces from Kyiv’s anti-tank rockets and drones.

Images reveal that nearly the whole tank is covered in steel sheds, with a space at the front where the turret can shoot at hostile soldiers.

However, this undoubtedly hinders field awareness and visibility from inside the mechanical beasts.

Following the revelation that Putin had shamefully lost nearly all of his tanks since invading Ukraine, Russian tanks have been seen beneath the cages that resemble turtle shells.

Russian top brass have been obliged to rely on warehouses and warehouses with stocks of vehicles left over from the Cold War since before the somber two-year milestone in Mad Vlad’s war.

One video captured the moment that Ukraine destroyed six of Putin’s “turtle tanks” in a series of brutal clashes.

Russia’s unsuccessful August armored attack on Lyptsy, Kharkiv Oblast, was quickly repulsed by Ukraine.

The chunky tanks were precisely blown up left, right, and center in a sequence of brief films.

As multiple explosions would occur on the battlefield, Ukraine’s 92nd Assault Brigade was able to strike each tank and ignite it in a matter of seconds.

As Kyiv had its sights set on them, one video even shows Putin’s frantic troops escaping the box-shaped tank.

Because there was insufficient heavy-duty military weaponry to display, a humiliated Vlad was even forced to call off last year’s May 9 celebrations, which are the most revered day in the Russian calendar.

Russia celebrates its victory over Nazi Germany in World War 2 by holding patriotic military parades around the nation.

These festivities, which are often led by a massive parade in Moscow’s Red Square, are utilized by Putin to highlight the power of the Russian military apparatus and inspire patriotism.

Tanks, nuclear missiles, and massive artillery used to thunder through the capital as jets flew overhead on the day of flag-waving before Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

However, Victory Day was shrunk in Moscow last year, with hardly any heavy-duty military hardware on show, and was canceled throughout a large portion of Russian territory.

Following two years of conflict in Ukraine, there were rumors that the parades had been canceled because there weren’t enough tanks to participate in them.

Despite this, the tyrant in the Kremlin continues to threaten Ukraine and the West.

After claiming to have fired many US long-range missiles toward Russia in recent days, Moscow claimed on Tuesday that it is “preparing a response” to Ukraine.

The defense ministry of Russia stated: “According to confirmed data, over the past three days, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have carried out two strikes with long-range Western weapons on targets in the Kursk region.”

North Korea has sent hundreds of troops to back Mad Vlad in recent weeks, and besieged Kyiv fired its first long-range missile into Russia on Tuesday.

There are now fears that war will spill over national borders, with Germany being the latest country toramp up precautionary measures.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy and his government are urging resilience amid ongoing attacks, including cyber threats that could disrupt power grids and internet infrastructure.

The growing threat has prompted warnings from British officials at NATO about the risks of cyber warfare.

A seniorNATO chief also warned that Europe must prepare for total war with Putinas nations are stepping up both military and civilian defences amid rising tensions.

It comes aftertwo US Stratofortress bombers carried out a mission flying near Russian airspaceon Monday in a powerful show of force toMoscow.
