Footage of Russian military vehicles with wooden planks strapped onto the exterior emerged days into the Kremlin's invasion of Ukraine.
A Russian armored vehicle kitted out with wooden logs for additional protection has been targeted by a Ukrainian drone close to the front lines in southern Ukraine, according to new footage.
Reports of Russian troops trying to boost protection on their military vehicles emerged soon after Moscow's invasion of Ukraine got underway in February 2022. By early March, images of Russian convoy vehicles making their way through Ukrainian territory showed wooden planks placed on the vehicles' front and back.
Russia has used its infantry fighting vehicles, like the tracked BMP-3, to ferry its soldiers around in Ukraine.
