Seems that way. Ukraine's equivalent, the Nozh has larger bricks with sharper edges than K1.
Also, you can see the mismatch of color of some of the bricks which suggests they were pulled from other vehicles.

Are you sure that is not a fake/photoshopped pic? There was a fake pic of Chally 2 with ERA going around
Looks legit, also look at the right "cheek" of the turret, they have added some metalic structure and they will probably add ERA over it, so if it is a fake, it is a really well made and thought one.
Precision munition strikes agsinst Avdiivka, aimed at depots, command posts and deployment centers. Can't exactly say if it's air or artillery based but I believe it's from air. Targeting is aided with drone work.
Ukrainian tank firing gets hit by a Lancet. A tank hit by a drone is not a sure kill, although likelihood of a mission kill is high.
Russian MLRS falling on Ukrainian mortar positions in Zaporozhye. Under infrared you can see the rockets strike down.

This is an admirable ingenuity to reduce vulnerability of Leopard's hull rack. Originally that area only protected by 110mm add-on armor, space in between hull and those and about 40mm base-hull plating.
I would expect they would do the same for the roof, minus the blow-out panel for the bustle.
Well, I guess it is sorta confirmed where those t-54/55's are going.
I find it weird how they are broadcasting that there will be an offensive in the spring or early summer. The only thing that makes sense to me is you can't hide all that movement of troops, tanks and other equipment from the Russians so might as well shout it that it is coming in the hopes it spooks the frontline troops? I mean they did say there was an offensive coming in Kherson and it did happen at the same time Ukraine launched an offensive at Kharkiv Oblast so...

Well they’re basically just announcing their main objective. A successful offensive from a Zaporozhye would split the Russian southern front in two, and everyone knows this. Zaporozhye is therefore the most obvious and suitable main thrust in the offensive. With regards to Kharkov last year, it was a diversion rather than the main attack. The Ukrainians wanted to make Kherson easier for themselves so they purposefully chose a weak link in the Russian’s lines. What actually happened, the rout of the Russian forces in the region, probably exceeded their expectations. Their broadcasted plans against Zaporozhye won’t be diversions. For that, they could attack towards Svatove in Lugansk or cross the Dnieper near Kherson and force the Russians to spread their forces more.
Russians captured a machine gun nest in the Avdiivka front. It is armed with a Browning M2. Like I said before, if it can be used it will be used. Designed by John Browning at the end of WW1, it still has an effective range of 1,800 meters, a maximum of 7,400 meters and a rate of fire around 500 to 600 rpm.
Another view of the Leopard 2A4 with Kontakt-1 ERA.
Wagner captured a partially burnt Novator Varta APC.

Made a quick calculation about the Russian strateig objective in east ukraine.
Within the black area it is possible to shell the residental areas of Donyeck with NATO supplied weapons, as its happened in the past nine years.
It means it won't be possible to restore the normal civilian peace conditions in the million residents city.
And the area required to establish a deep enought defense as well.
Russia can't start any other attack direction before clean the black area of all long range NATO supplied artillery.
At the moment if the number of forces decreased around Donyeck the Ukrainans will start to push hard into the city.
It means as soon as Donyeck secure Russia can do whatever required to finish the war, say start a front towards kiew, liviv or whatever is they wish.
Problem is the area around Donyeck is the most fortified area on the surface of earth, the whole NATO spent good 8 years to establish the best fortifications possible.
