Video shows old Russian tank with a ridiculously tall 'cope cage' defense on top

• A strange video from the war in Ukraine showed a modified old tank.
• The footage seemed to show a T-54 or T-55 with a huge "cope cage" on top.
• The devices are a kind of crude defense against anti-tank weapons, but tend not to work.

A recent video shows a weird moment from the fighting in Ukraine — a Russian tank with an enormous example of a so-called "cope cage" on top.

The footage was posted to X on September 29 by the account OSINTtechnical, a page run by a person affiliated with the Center for Naval Analyses.
