I'm a Navy guy and I can see how desperate the Russians must be to do something like this. The moment these tanks face something more than a swarm of hobby shop drones they are going to get waxed. Buttondowned tankers are blind enough as it is. These things are veritable black holes for visibility out. They are the brass band of stealthy.
That the Russians can't handle the Ukrainian drone swarms shows just how far the once vaunted Russian EW capability has fallen. It's not that hard to jam the control channel of these cheap drones. This is why I'm not worried about claims of massive swarms of Russian or Chinese drones on the battlefield or at sea.

LonePalm, le Républicain du verre cassé (The Broken Glass Republican)It looks like the Russians waited for NATO to throw every kind of better artillary and missiles at them, and when the West's 'donations' got older and less useful, it was time for the Turtle, not before. If NATO ponies up actual significant modern aircraft and missile capability, I can't see them using Turtles.
I am NOT a fan of our Ukraine policy but this has been a major military coup on our part. We get rid of our older weapons almost for free while Ukraine attrites the Russian army down to a nub and NO American servicemen are killed. That sounds like a near historical military win to me.
