here's a hot link for that:
Ukraine

Better still! Check out what the Azov Gang is doing there---home-made (and much better) TANKS!

Ukie's Mad Max Tank Factory



“Usually a tank has 10 or 20cm of armor (in the front) but we put in 1.4m. This tank can take anything, even a big missile from a plane. It can take all the modern equipment of all the armies,” says Zvarych.

A tank’s tracks are always one of its weak points so Azov engineers have reinforced Azovette’s track skirt with layers of custom armor. Zvarych says projectiles would have to hit the skirt three times in the exact same spot to get through to the vehicle.

I doubt they put in 1.4m of armor. Some one got their units of measure mixed up.

LOL
DO you think they or it will survive the first round of live fire R&D with human test subjects inside?
It might be good for small arms and bouncing grenades off of but I am not confident it would survive a few molotovs and it wont survive anti tank anything.
DO you notice a lack of canon? turret? (says there is one in the article) what are its electronic capabilities? sensors? tracking, targetting?
Thats some maybe sweet monster garage APC with treads and thats it.
just going out on a limb with a wild assumption



eta- this is NOT a criticism of their efforts or their BALLS for riding around in these.

This is about the cost of a tank and what you get without a big budget.
