It is not working.

These Turtle Tanks are niche designs focused on countering drones. This class of armor is best thought of as improvised heavy mineclearing vehicles, but they aren't tanks.

What these Turtle vehicles gain in imperviousness to FPV drone attacks they catastrophically give up in situational awareness and vulnerability to all other anti-tank weapons whether that be direct fire cannons tank cannons, artillery, AT guided rockets or physical tank traps.

Does anyone else feel like tanks were unquestionably obsolete when Russia stopped using them and now that Russia is using them again tanks are unquestionably powerful?
