Those aren't slats at all. That looks like wire of the kind used in a chain link fence or chicken coop.
Aside from not really understanding how the turret crew are going to get out, it looks like the front panels may interfere with some of the turret optics mounted topside.
Chicken wire and looks like welded square channel tubing. Also it looks uneven, like it was improvised, there's no visible support to make it useful, either-it's apparent that it's more or less laying on top of the turret and held down with gravity.
kinda like something you'd put up for a photo-op of the "haw haw lookit these dumb ******'..."
Or something come up with by a crew chief who got bit by the bright idea fairy, because that's not going to protect shit.
Measures like that, are proof that the paradigm shift's hitting on a psychological level, but we KNEW that with the
"Turtle" tanks-sacrificing the sensor packages that are the real reason you bring tanks, to turn it into an assemblage that needs direction over radio to find its way anywhere, because it turns out drones can put shaped charges on thin top armor pretty handily, and turret rings that include your ammo where smart people put bearings is probably a bad design choice, but it's kinda late to go back and totally redesign hulls that were in mass production from the 1950s to the 1990s or even later.
nto that the Russians haven't come up with a totally redesigned idea of the tank, but it's logistically unsupportable, ergo, why they don't have them in mass production and why there's been parade problems
Probably the biggest takeaway from this conflict, is going to be that it doesn't matter if you have the high-speed gear, if you can't
apply the high speed gear. The Russians had this problem because they let rot and corruption set in and as a result, ground troops were sent in without the suppleis and gear their handbills said they had, (teh stuff went out on the black market instead, with everyone from the generals to the ncos' taking a cut of the sales.)
The Ukrainians, because they had so few of...well,
everything that individual equipment losses actually HURT, and they're getting most of their supplies from people who didn't build to the same specs, design documents, or doctrine so they're aLSO having to learn on the fly, and this kind of war hasn't happened between near-peer adversaries since the 1950s. (We won't look at the ongoing hell show in North Africa, which would be 'near peer' but largely badly organized armies fighting limited wars or committing genocides.)
Lessons are having to be re-learned, and new lessons are having to be learned-as a result, we're going to get juicy images of improvisations, some of them will work, some will be a joke.
but 'tis a Context thing. This isn't the U.S. patrolling Asskrakistan for twenty years dealing with insurgents, this is big-scale formal conventional war between near-peer adversaries with high levels of education and deep commitment on all sides.
