RU Turtle APC Delivers Grunts Under Fire
Published 2 weeks ago
Drone footage of a Russian “turtle” armored personnel carrier delivering a squad of infantry while under fire from a drone dropping munitions. The APC appears to be an MTLB modified with steel plate which shrugs off the relatively light munitions dropped by the drones. Undaunted by the munitions landing nearby, the APC stops to deliver its load of infantrymen. The squad dismounts with the organization and urgency of middle school students exiting a minivan. As they mill about aimlessly, a Ukrainian drone drops a munition into their midst, resulting in a predictable degree of panic. Soldiers continue to spill out of the rear of the vehicle and another munition claims more victims as the grunts disperse. The modification to the vehicle appears somewhat affective, though poorly utilized.
