The Slovak Armed Forces have installed lattice armor on their T-72M1 and Leopard 2A4 tanks to protect them from drones.
The photographs show rather primitive protective elements mounted on the turrets of both types of tanks. They consist of a thin tubular frame and a mesh resembling an ordinary chain-link mesh.In addition, the Slovak military has not yet equipped the engine and transmission compartments and sides with protective structures.
In general, the trend is obvious: European armies are experimenting with inexpensive ways to protect themselves from one of the main threats on the modern battlefield — drones.At the same time, such decisions remain isolated initiatives of individual units of the NATO armies.
