More and more Russians are using portable electronic warfare. They install them on their destroyed equipment. The MT-LB was installed during the assault, according to a post by Estonian blogger Dmitri on Twitter (X).
The photographs show an ersatz armored personnel carrier based on the MT-LB tracked tractor. “Military” has repeatedly reported on the destruction of these armored personnel carriers in the Donetsk region.

A portable electronic warfare system is installed on the hull of an abandoned armored personnel carrier. Most likely, in this way the Russians are creating a temporary “dome” that can serve as cover for the advancing forces during the assault.
It can be assumed that in this way the Russians are trying to protect their abandoned armored vehicles from further destruction by drones for the purpose of further evacuation.
“Military” writes that the problem with such an application will be the battery capacity and cooling of the system, which will work for a long time before evacuation. In addition, it is more advisable to install such systems specifically on evacuation equipment, and not on abandoned ones.
Therefore, the most logical option remains the installation of portable electronic warfare systems in order to create “domes” on the battlefield to protect the advancing forces.
Let us recall that the Russians have been developing the topic of portable radar warfare systems for a long time. Most of these systems require connection to the combat vehicle’s power system, and the products in the photo most likely operate from a portable power source.
