Russian forces have been spotted fielding stripped-down T-72 tanks converted into troop carriers, first reported on September 22 by AFV Recognition. Analysts confirmed these vehicles lack turrets and main guns, instead covered with barbed wire, drone-jamming devices, and reactive armor to withstand Ukraine’s FPV drone attacks.

The shift follows catastrophic Russian armor losses—over 22,000 vehicles destroyed since 2022, with more than 65% attributed to drones. With up to 150,000 troops and large numbers of armored vehicles massing near Pokrovsk, this unusual adaptation highlights how drone warfare is reshaping the battlefield and forcing Moscow into desperate measures.
