The vehicle features a single door at the rear, serving both as entry and exit, a feature that, while enhancing protection against kamikaze drones, may complicate and delay troop and crew boarding and disembarking, posing potential risks during combat.
This design approach is not novel in the Russian armed forces. It was recently reported that Russian vehicles, including a Ural truck heading towards Orikhiv, were outfitted with anti-drone grids covering the entire length of the hull, shielding the vehicles in assault operations.
Additionally, it was reported that Russian occupation forces in the Donetsk region are employing tanks equipped with metal canopies and electronic warfare systems, a strategy to bolster defense against drones.
