Israeli tanks equipped with anti-drone cages ahead of Gaza invasion

The Jerusalem Post reports: “Israeli tanks amassing outside Gaza ahead of a potential ground invasion have been equipped with anti-drone ‘cages’, similar to those used in the Russia-Ukraine War, according to analysis from The Washington Post.

‘An interesting question is whether these structures will become standard for armored vehicles in conflict,’ Cancian stated…”
