It finally happened.
Engineers now so used to the convenience of going on War Thunder forums for official manuals that they mistook a joke post for the real thing & built the hedgehog.
(Still the forums will get the blame for leaking this.)

Well done on liberating this from Hexbear, euww.
Lol, Hexbear + Twatter, I only saw that as I was already crossposting.
Wtf is the use of the spikes? Are russians launching people mad max style now?
The idea is to make drones explode as far away from the surface of the vehicle. The cage alone helps, but the spikes might increase the protection by an additional meter.
Imagine this turning out to be useful, single-handedly winning a lot for Ukraine, and some of the surviving examples get to be showcased in museums, and given names like “Sonic” and “Shadow”.
Mommy there is something wrong with the magic school bus!
“Don’t worry dear, Ms Frizzle said you were going on a field trip to Donbas”
Is this what a drone-proof car looks like? Damn, the war in Ukraine is getting weird.
