Nice gazebo. They just need a few deckchairs and a fire pit and it'll make a nice garden "feature."

Do these cope platforms do anything? Is there a single documented instance of a top attack being thwarted by this set up?T-55 sighted in Ukraine with extra protection against sunburn.

I think tankers in the past used this kind of do it yourself protection to protect against thrown munitions like bundle pack granates and molotov cocktails.If done professionally and properly slat armour (aka bar armor, cage armor and standoff armor) can apparently be effective. It's commonly used on NATO vehicles as supplemental side protection - but I don't know if it can stop overhead strikes. This Leopard 2 below has slat armour everywhere, except above. Perhaps the Russians are unlikely to employ top attack ATGWs?

Depends on the round - APDS, APDSFS, HEAT, HESH etc. There's more than one way to penetrate a tank, and more than one way to try and defeat that round: Reactive armour, spaced armour, ceramic armour etcI think tankers in the past used this kind of do it yourself protection to protect against thrown munitions like bundle pack granates and molotov cocktails.
That i understand. Dont think it will stop a rocket designed to go through a lot of armour plating.
Yes but a cart from a mall aint cutting it.Depends on the round - APDS, APDSFS, HEAT, HESH etc. There's more than one way to penetrate a tank, and more than one way to try and defeat that round: Reactive armour, spaced armour, ceramic armour etc
hahaha! No indeed. Might be better than nothing if the conscript got their coin back from it before they welded it onYes but a cart ftom a mall aint cutting it.
Don't worry - I am sure the Ukrainians can find a way to use them all before they run out of lifeLooks like up to nine hundred Storm Shadows could be made available. They're 25 years old and their use-by date is rapidly approaching.

I think you will find they do work in cases it's just that no-one bothers to photograph a tank that has survived a hit because of the COPE cage whereas there are plenty of photos when they don't work. be just as wary of what you don't see as what you do.Do these cope platforms do anything?
