Over and over, the photos show destroyed Russian tanks that are minus the turrets.

Yesterday i saw a photo of such a tank, the T 90, I think, that had some sort of wire mesh or fencing around the bottom of the turret.

The mesh was likely Molotov cocktail deflectors. That indicates such a cocktail could spread gas under and then inside the turret

“The mesh was likely Molotov cocktail deflectors.”

Actually, they have been trying to put mesh around the turrets to preemptively detonate antitank rockets before they hit the turret, because most of their tanks are missing reactive armor systems. The mesh doesn’t really seem to work though.
