Ukrainian soldiers, engineers add metal netting to US tanks and vehicles to protect against Russian drones
Retired Marine and Defense Dept. official Mick Mulroy confirms that this tactic is well known: “Throughout history tanks and tankers have used add-ons to try to defend against all of these anti-tank devices. Mesh, reactive armor, even chain linked fences, have been used.”
Working for a defense contractor for thirty years, I thought that sophisticated weapons are the key to victory. Folks who have actually served know better.
