Wonder why the turret cope cage extends so far behind?

It almost looks like they welded a shipping container to the turret lmao
~~Extra protection for the machine gunners asshole?~~
*Wrong person.
According to the "unboxing" video the AFU did of a captured turtle tank a few weeks ago, the main gun isn't even functional. I'd be surprised if the machine gun works.
Whats the point of sending a tank into battle without its main gun non-functional? Intimidation? Very small APC? Its got a functioning engine and can drive faster than walking speed?
It's basically just a ultra cheapo disposable APC. Tanks that were too broken to be refurbished after being stored in the open for half a century. The driver can barely see, there are no defensive weapons and the mobiks just ride along on top inside the "shed". From what I've seen, they are not really expected to return after dropping off the troops.
If the orcs are down to sending out an "APC" that only holds 3 personnel (plus the driver), then this is looking good for Ukraine!
I think so too. Here's the video if you're interested in the details:
That was an amazing walkthrough!
I initially thought that the main gun on that may have just broken along the way, but the fact that the reloading door was welded shut certainly corrects my error. I wonder if this was some kind of training tank to teach driving, so it would never had need of functional turret or ammo loading system.
That sentence would really benefit from an apostrophe.
I was referring to the Dildo of Consequence.
Oh that whole thing is the cope cage! I thought it was just a building behind it or something.

That thing is at minimum ~~66~~ 43 years old
They were apparently produced all the way up to ‘81 in the USSR (‘83 in Czechoslovakia); so this one could be a spry, young 43 year old!
Ahh you are absolutely right, I had the design dates instead of the production dates

Is that thing shooting out of a fucking wardrobe?
