The crates verified unproductive– some Western professionals amusingly called them “emotional-support armour”. Currently Russia has offered an even more intense retrofit, using metal bed linen to completely confine some of its own storage tanks.
The brand new armour has actually earned the lorries the nickname “tortoise storage tanks”. Will kitting them out thus actually help?
