Turtle tanks are a Russian innovation in the Russia-Ukraine war. They are standard Russian tanks or armoured vehicles which have been covered with an improvised sheet metal carapace designed to resist FPV drone attacks, with electronic counter-measures pods on top. The carapace looks like the shell of a turtle, hence the name.[1][2][3]
