Watch as bizarre HAIRY Russian ‘turtle tank’ is seen in Ukraine as Putin’s troops go to new extremes to fend off drones
VLADIMIR Putin’s forces have unveiled its barmiest “turtle tanker” yet as Russia scrambles to protect its dwindling armour from Ukraine’s deadly drones.
Footage from Russian state TV showed a Soviet-era BMP-1 coated in metal sheets and bizarre hair-like bristles as it ploughed through the battlefield.
The spiked, “hairy” vehicle was spotted near Chasiv Yar in the Donetsk region, where Moscow’s troops have been steadily advancing.
The weird modifications are part of Moscow’s desperate attempt to shield armoured vehicles from first-person-view (FPV) drones, which have become a battlefield menace.
The “hairy” BMP appears to be an evolution of Russia’s crude “cope cages,” the improvised metal shields first seen on tanks at the start of the war.
But instead of just flat plates, the BMP’s open back is covered by hanging curly sheaves of steel, while thick broom-like bristles jut out from its sides.
Oleksandr Danylyuk, a military and defence analyst at RUSI, told The Telegraph he had not seen such defences used before in this war.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian weapons expert Valerii Riabykh suggested the bristles might be designed to “prematurely initiate the fuses on FPV warheads” before they strike the vehicle directly.
The move comes as Russia and Ukraine engage in an escalating game of drone warfare, with both sides rapidly adapting to counter each other’s tactics.
FPV drones have proved devastating, especially against older armoured vehicles, as they can hit where defences are weakest—on top.
Initially, electronic warfare (EW) systems proved effective at jamming remote-controlled drones, with military officials estimating that 75 per cent of drones were being knocked out, The Telegraph reports.
But the introduction of “unjammable” fibre optic-controlled FPV drones has forced Moscow to get creative with its defences.
VLAD’S DESPERATE TANK DESIGNS
This is far from the first time Putin’s forces have resorted to makeshift solutions.
Last year, Russian troops were spotted rolling into battle with bizarre “turtle tanks”.
The Soviet-era T-80s were covered in steel sheds and chain fringes in a bid to survive drone and missile attacks.
The hulking vehicles, which debuted in Donetsk Oblast, became a symbol of Russia’s reliance on ageing Cold War-era equipment.
While the thick metal plates provided some protection, they also severely limited visibility for the crew, leaving them vulnerable to Ukrainian strikes.
What are 'turtle tanks'?
“TURTLE tanks” generally refer to tanks with a heavily armored, low-profile design resembling the shape of a turtle.
The term isn’t specific to a single model but can describe various tanks known for their strong armor and defensive capabilities.
One prominent example is the German Panzer VIII Maus, the heaviest fully enclosed armoured fighting vehicle ever built.
Another is the Soviet KV-2, known for its thick armour and large turret.
The design philosophy behind these tanks focuses on maximum protection and survivability on the battlefield, often at the cost of speed and mobility.
One particularly humiliating moment came in August when Ukraine’s 92nd Assault Brigade annihilated several of these “turtle tanks” in Kharkiv Oblast, setting them ablaze in a series of pinpoint strikes.
Footage showed Russian soldiers scrambling from the burning wrecks as Ukrainian drones picked them off one by one.
The slapdash armour upgrades reflect Moscow’s growing desperation as its once-vaunted tank fleet has been decimated.
Before the grim two-year anniversary of the war, Russian commanders were reportedly forced to dig into vast Cold War stockpiles to keep their forces in the fight.
The dire state of Russia’s arsenal was laid bare last May when Putin was forced to cancel or drastically scale back the annual Victory Day parades — typically a grand showcase of Russian military might—due to a lack of heavy-duty military equipment.
Tottenham fans say ‘I beg your pardon’ after they launch shock transfer for England star amid Axel Disasi uncertainty
TOTTENHAM have made a shock bid for Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi, according to reports.
Ange Postecoglou’s side remain keen to sign a defender before tonight’s transfer deadline, despite recruiting Kevin Danso from RC Lens on Sunday.
Spurs’ defence has been decimated by injuries this season.
Cristian Romero and Radu Dragusin are both missing with long-term issues, while Micky van de Ven has only recently returned to fitness following a lengthy lay-off.
Spurs have been attempting to sign Axel Disasi on loan from Chelsea.
According to transfer reporter Ben Jacobs, Tottenham agreed a deal with the Blues worth around £5m to take Disasi for the rest of the season.
The Frenchman would rather join Aston Villa, however, having already agreed terms with Unai Emery’s side.
Fabrizio Romano claims that Tottenham are still trying for Disasi, although conflicting reports say that their pursuit is over.
Romano also adds that Spurs made an offer for Guehi in the last 48 hours.
The bid was turned down, however, with Tottenham likely to wait until the summer before trying again for the England star.
Guehi, 24, only has 18 months remaining on his Palace contract.
Spurs supporters have been left shocked by their Guehi bid.
One wrote on social media: “I beg ur pardon.”
While a second added: “Wow!”

I haven’t shampooed my waist-length hair in 12 years & get so many compliments on it – I’ve trained it to clean itself
A WOMAN who hasn’t washed her hair with shampoo in 12 years has revealed how she managed to train her locks.
Harper explained that she decided to ditch shampoo, and other hair products, in a bid to keep her hair in the best condition possible.
And it seems it’s worked, as it’s become her most complimented feature.
She explained in a video on her Instagram page, as she revealed she also no longer uses a hairdryer after washing it with solely water.
Instead, she leaves it to dry naturally, or uses her dressing gown belt to create overnight curls.
“I haven’t used shampoo in over 12 years and my hair is also by far my most complimented feature,” she said in the clip.
“It’s long, it’s thick, it’s kind of curly – it’s very eye catching.”
While she doesn’t use shampoo, she does take hot showers regularly to keep herself clean.
And when she is in the shower, she really scrubs her scalp “and sort of pull the natural oils through the rest of the hair”.
“But that’s all you really need to do to balance that sort of oily, greasy feeling in the scalp,” Harper added.
She also wears her hair in plaits a lot, as well as doing the dressing gown curls, and concluded: “And that’s it!
“I don’t use any product in my hair, and people comment on it all the time.”
In another Instagram video, she used the caption to reveal her technique of not shampooing the locks is colloquially referred to as following a “nopoo” routine.
“NO MODERN PRODUCTS hair care,” she wrote.
“I haven’t used shampoo in over 12 years. No curling irons, no gels, no mousse, NOTHING.
“What you see here is just water, technique, and time.”
Despite Harper insisting her hair is healthier than ever, the comments section was almost immediately filled with people questioning how she stops it smelling if she isn’t using shampoo.
“As a stylist, I have had a couple of clients do this,” one person wrote.
How often should you be washing your hair?
Anabel Kingsley, Consultant Trichologist and Brand President at Philip Kingsley spoke exclusively to Fabulous.
You take your hair and scalp to the same places you take your face, and it gets just as dirty.
Your scalp is also a living tissue; it sweats, produces oils and sheds skin cells.
You wouldn’t leave two days between washing your face, and you likely wouldn’t wear the same outfit more than a few times before washing it – apply the same thinking to your hair.
It is a myth that washing your hair too often causes your hair to get greasier.
“I do not appreciate it, because it stinks. Sorry, but we can smell you!”
Another stylist added: “I had a client tell me he hasn’t shampooed in FIVE YEARS for the same reason.
“When I was done with his hair my clippers were JAMMED because of all the oil.
“He smelled UNBELIEVABLY horrid and was flabbergasted at the fact I told him it was unsanitary.
“This is disgusting.
“If you’re worried about hair health or chemicals, use an all natural plant based shampoo – they exist!”
“As a hairstylist, this is NOT healthy for your hair,” a third insisted.
Sorry, but we can smell you!
Stylist's comment on video
“Your scalps build up bacteria and your hair needs a healthy microbiome (aka a clean scalp) to be healthy.”
“I don’t get why people don’t use shampoo,” someone else mused.
“They think they’re doing something, but really they’re not.
“Imagine if you never used soap to wash your hands!”
However, others were more on Harper’s side, with one writing: “My grandmother have never used shampoo in her life and her hair was thick even her 60s.
“And in her 50s she didn’t have grey hair!”
“All you people have you looked at her other content?” another asked.
“Does her hair look bad or greasy – no.
“Her hair is wet in this video, in the other ones it looks good.
“Her routine maybe wouldn’t work for everybody’s hair but it does for her.”
As a third added: “We all like shampoo, me especially, but do you think we were made with Herbal Essences in mind?
“This is the natural process we were intended for.
“No hate for a difference of personal practice.”
Holly Willoughby reveals major shake-up to next week’s Dancing On Ice as huge part of show returns after fan backlash
HOLLY Willoughby has revealed a major Dancing On Ice shake-up as a huge part of the show will return next week.
Fans of Dancing On Ice were previously left furious after the skate-off was removed – meaning the celebrity and pro skater with the fewest public votes were dumped immediately.
But during last night’s live show Holly, 43, told the likes of Charlie Brooks and Anton Ferdinand that they could have to battle it out to stay in the competition.
She said: “Listen, this is very important – I have an announcement to make.
“Next week things are going to change somewhat because the skate-off is back. That does change everything.”
After the skate-off was initially axed viewers insisted the end of the show felt “rushed”.
One wrote on social media: “Tonight’s ending was terribly rushed and very abrupt! Change the format!”
And another said: “What a pointless way to end the show.”
It was a dramatic weekend for Dancing On Ice, with professional skater Vanessa Bauer being forced to quit the show due to injury.
Vanessa, 28 – who was partnered with Love Island’s Chris Taylor – told fans: “I’m here today with rather upsetting news. I am unfortunately not going to be able to continue on Dancing on Ice with Chris.
“I unfortunately had a little accident backstage last week on Dancing on Ice just before the live show on Sunday.
“And I didn’t realise how bad it was then, but we did an MRI and it turned out that I have a completely torn ligament, grade three sprain injury and a major grade two sprain injury.”
Chris will continue with the competition, skating instead with Robin Johnstone.
Last night’s episode also saw Sir Steve Redgrave become the third celebrity to be eliminated from the show.
Charlotte Crosby gives birth to second child with fiancé Jake Ankers
CHARLOTTE Crosby has given birth to her second child with fiancé Jake Ankers.
The former Geordie Shore star, 34, shared the happy news today with fans after a difficult few months.
Charlotte and Jake are already parents to daughter Alba, two.
Tough time
The couple were left terrified just weeks ago after her £1million home was burgled – while they were upstairs.
Jake, 33, revealed on social media that a gang of masked robbers armed with machetes stormed inside their stunning mansion.
The Sun later told how the pair have taken extra measures to make sure that they are free from danger.
Just weeks after that ordeal, the TV personality was rushed to hospital shortly afterwards where it was revealed she had a urine infection.
Scared Jake shared at the time: “We are not having a good week!!!
“Now Charlotte has been rushed in to hospital as she is having serious pains in her stomach, they are running all the necessary checks to make sure Charlotte and baby are ok.”
And in a further blow, on Boxing Day Charlotte’s beloved grandma – her dad’s mum – passed away.
Sharing a picture of them together with her daughter Alba, Charlotte shared: “We lost an amazing woman last night, kind, wonderful and the most loving family member.
“Always incredibly proud of me and my achievements! And always the very first to boast about me. I will never forget how much she supported me so dearly! We will miss you so much, She loved little Alba so much!”
Family of four
Charlotte and Jake announced they were expecting their second child in September 2024.
The star had made no secret of her wish to have another child and had told fans on a number of occasions that she was ‘trying’.
The couple got engaged in November 2023, a year after welcoming their daughter.
Jake got down on one knee during a lavish trip to Dubai.
Sharing the news, Charlotte said: “Happiest woman in the world.”
Charlotte Crosby and Jake Anker's relationship timeline
The pair met back in 2021 while Charlotte was getting over her break-up with ex-boyfriend Liam Beaumont.
They were introduced by mutual friends.
Charlotte and Jake then went official with their relationship in January 2022.
The following month the Geordie Shore star found out she was pregnant.
Charlotte and Jake revealed they were expecting in April 2022.
They welcomed baby Alba-Jean into the world in October that year.
In November 2023 the couple got engaged.

Love Island shock as SECOND star quits show and walks out of villa
LOVE Island is set for further shock as a SECOND star has quit the show – less than 24 hours after Scott Thomas decided to leave.
The Sun can now reveal that Ron Hall has walked from the villa after he failed to find a connection with any of the girls.
Ron, who is currently coupled up with latest bombshell Danielle Sellers, has had a tough time in the villa since his late arrival.
And now the former financial advisor, 27, has decided to leave after he “grew tired” of forcing connections and believed he wouldn’t meet his soulmate in there with just two weeks before final.
A source told The Sun: “Ron was the centre of attention on his series, with multiple girls vying for his attention and with Lana always there for him to return to.
“It was a bit of a rude awakening for him this time round as he just couldn’t find a single spark.
“He realised he wasn’t likely to find that connection now and had grown tired of watching the front door for bombshells that might be for him.”
They added: “The Love Island villa is a tough place to be single, especially when matches are sparking all around you – there’s some very loved up couples in there now – and Ron decided it was time to check out.”
Ron, who found love with Lana Jenkins on series nine in 2023, joined the All Stars villa as a bombshell with Grace Jackson.
He forced a quick connection with Kaz Crossley but she had her head turned by Montel McKenzie.
Harriett Blackmore then chose to recouple with Ron, but he told her that he didn’t fancy her.
Ron has since been in a love square with new bombshell Danielle, who was also getting to know Curtis, who is coupled up with Ekin-Su.
During the last recoupling, Curtis decided to pick Ekin-Su, meaning Ron was left with no choice but to couple up with Danielle.
Yesterday, Scott shocked fans as he sensationally quit Love Island All Stars after struggling to find a genuine connection.
Scott‘s doubts over Tina Stinnes, 29, continued to grow over recent days and despite matching at the fire pit, he felt it fairest on her to call time on their relationship.
Scott’s decision left his fellow Islanders devastated after he grew close to a number of the lads especially.
A source said: “Since it first came to light Scott wasn’t feeling it with Tina on Vegas night, he’s struggled to feel free within the situation and push past his doubts.
“On tonight’s show viewers will see him continue to work through his concerns about their connection before the Islanders are then plunged into a recoupling.
“Scott was unable to get past the feeling Tina wasn’t right for him and his biggest priority was not wasting her precious time in the villa.
“He knows this is a big opportunity for her in love and life and would never want to ruin that.
“After taking some time out with the dedicated Love Island welfare team, Scott decided that the best thing he could do for himself was to remove himself from the situation.
“He’s done so much work over recent years on self-love and he didn’t want to force a connection for the sake of it.”
His departure followed a tense argument with Elma Pazar where she told him to “leave”.
Fans have now demanded for Elma to be removed.
One said: “Nah, producers should throw her out for this. The whole point of the show is finding the RIGHT person, not just picking the first one that fancies you. Just because she’s desperate doesn’t mean he should be. Who is she to dictate who he should like & if he should go?!”
A second wrote: “Elma’s letting favourite girl get to her head.”
“Elma sit down or we’ll get you out next. When someone’s honest about their feelings they get angry,” said a third.
ALL STARS BOMBSHELL
Ron signed up to star in the ITV2 spin-off as a bombshell after his latest relationship with Lydia Karakyriakou came to an end at Christmas.
Previously, he told The Sun he’d never do another dating show.
Meanwhile, some believed Ron to be on the brink of quitting All Stars after he took a massive swipe at his ex.
Hours before his villa entry he released an episode of podcast I’m Wrong, He’s Right with former villa BFF Tanyel Revan and said he wouldn’t be able to stand by and watch his ex-girlfriend Lana cracking on with other men in front of him.
He told Tanyel: “There’s a more difficult scenario if I was to be in there… if, obviously Lana would be in there, it would be a little bit trickier.”
Explaining himself a bit further, he later added: “I would just leave this time. If I was having a bad time, I would just go.”
Others suggested they knew the real reason for his initial attraction to Elma Pazar, this being her resemblance to his former villa mate Tanyel.
