The telegrams of the channels appeared the image of the know-how of the Russian military. On the self-propelled article "MSTA-C" was installed lattice, which is also known as "barbecue" because of a similar appearance. In the West, such protection was called Copecage.

During the exercises in the occupied Crimea, armored vehicles with lattice were involved. They should protect the tanks from Javelin and Bayraktar TB2. In any tank, the roof of the tower is the most vulnerable place, which is where the Javelin Rocket or Bayraktar projectile arrives. At the same time, the Russian tankers noted that such a cage complicates the attempts to get a crew from equipment in fire. After T-72B3, such cells began to be installed on a rare T-62M.
