Russian propagandists boasted about a "tough" BMP with a shaggy "mangal"

Military equipment with additional armor was spotted in a report by the Russian media. A mobile "barn" is moving in the area of Chasiv Yar in the Donetsk region.

On Russian state television, they "proudly" demonstrated an infantry fighting vehicle with additional "armor". This was reported on the social network X by OSINT researcher Special Kherson Cat, who published a screenshot of the occupiers’ equipment.

As clarified by military observer and "Military Focus" editor Igal Levin, the additional protection for the "fierce" BMP-"turtle" includes iron sheets, firewood, bundles of wire, as well as a UDSh smoke grenade attached to the side, resembling an anti-tank mine TM-62 in appearance.

This machine, as reported, is located in the area of Chasiv Yar. The occupiers, having equipped the BMP with a "barbecue grill" made of iron sheets and welded bundles of steel wire to the visor, hope that such a "furry" canopy will increase the likelihood of premature triggering of drones. Additionally, the Russians covered the rear and front parts of the "barbecue grill" with steel wire, and installed rubber screens in the lower part of the BMP hull.
