Iraq became the first Arab army to apply its own experiences in the Ukrainian war.
The goal is to strengthen the defense of FPV drones and anti -tank weapons that are getting more and more common in modern battlefields.
According to recent records, Iraq’s T-90S/IQ tanks are equipped with a cope cages, a metal structure installed at the top of the turret similar to what Russians use. This grid structure reduces the effects of Kamikaze drones, explosives that are dropped from the air, and induction ammunition.

In addition to the upper armor, the vehicle has strengthened the 4S24 soft case ERA reaction gloves on the side to increase the survivability of antitank projectors and missiles.
This improvement work has already been performed by the 35th Armored Brigade 5 Tank Battalion, which is already operating T-90S/IQ as active duty. Recent photographs showcase a vehicle that completes cage -shaped gloves to cope with side reaction gloves and increasing drone threats.
Military analysts say that this remodeling can make a difference in future battle situations and an important stage for the Iraqi army to adapt to the new reality of the modern war.
