Russian servicemen have equipped a Soviet-made BMP-1 with a homemade "Tsar-mangal" protection. In this case, instead of bars, hedgehogs made of wire are welded to the sides of the BMP-1, and the front of the combat vehicle is protected by hanging steel cables. According to some, steel hedgehogs more effectively protect the combat vehicle from drones.

When low tech steal the day... if it works it works but damn it's ugly.

The Russian military group was inspected by Defense Minister Andrey Belousov. During the inspection, the minister was shown Russian military robotic equipment; it is worth noting that many of the equipment are still being produced in small batches. The video shows various remotely controlled robotic platforms, mining robots, transport drones and other equipment. The video also shows a tracked all-terrain vehicle based on the UAZ-469 and a T-80BVM tank with drone protection in the form of steel cables; we showed this tank earlier.

The video is short, but it shows that the turret of the SAU "Gvozdika" is protected from drones by a circular lattice dome, the sides of the howitzer are covered with hinged protective sheets. The frontal lower armor plate of the self-propelled artillery unit 2S1 "Gvozdika" is covered with chains, which also protects drones. The protection was made by the military personnel themselves.
