Kashif verified the image through via Google Images search and found it to be old and the claim misleading. It was taken from a video that went viral in October 2023 and was claimed to show an anti-drone cage surrounding a Russian tank.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kashif found that the image was taken from a video posted by accounts including\u00a0\u201cSpecial Kherson Cat\u201d<\/a>\u00a0on X platform on 8 October 2023, accompanied by the following description: \u201cA column of Russian T-62 tanks and a single BTS-4 vehicle, equipped with very large anti-drone cages.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

Forbes<\/a>\u00a0also published\u00a0a photo of the same tank on 9 October 2023, in a report titled: \u201cRussians are covering their old T-62 tanks with anti-drone armor, from the track to the turret.\u201d The report noted that \u201cthe cage armor doubles the tank\u2019s bulk and significantly impedes its turret\u2019s rotation and camouflage capabilities.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
