T-55 from the museum to the battlefield to a crumpled heap of steel in a week or less. That cope cage isn't going to help much.
In all due respect, to the combat soldier in the front line, a tank is a tank, whether it was made in the 1950/1960's or made yesterday.
The fact that the vast majority of both Ukrainian and Russian tanks are employed in the direct and indirect fire-support role makes the 100mm or 115mm of the T-55 or T-62 deadly.
As for the 'cope cage', didn't everyone enjoy taking the piss out of the Russians...well, at least until the Ukrainians and Israelis started fitting them on their frontline MBT, SPG, etc...
