Here's a fascinating 4 min video of a multitude of #TankBling #CopeCage tanks and vehicles in actual combat.

"a Russian armored assault on Krasnohorivka. The lead tank with the large shelter was left behind after its mine-roller reportedly got stuck but the other tanks and BMP/MT-LB continued the assault.

This is the first time I've seen these DIY modifications in battle. There are quite a few instances that appear to show the cope cages and additional armor being effective. Can't confirm if it was drone strikes, but a number of small direct hits on the tanks and they keep going.
