That's exactly what the Ukranians have been doing to take out the cope cages from the videos. 3+ FPV drones to a vehicle.

Depending on the explosive that should not help. Shaped charges are most effective if they explode a little distance away. It might help if it is a shrapnel based explosive.

Still you wouldn't probably need a shaped charge to penetrate the armor on a BMP-2 which may explain this approach.

Edit: looking at it more, there is some kind of external armor assembly on the sides, but it doesn't look like ERA tiles.

I mean, isn't that the thing about cope cages. They only "feel" protected

Pretty much. Also they were slapping egg cartons on the side and pretending it was ERA from the start of this 3 day operation, if they actually had any tiles they’re in a Ukrainian farmers shed by now

could it possibly be bypassed by adding a delay between when the censor triggers and when the explosion goes off? 🤔

I'm not sure if the drones use directional charges or not. My worry would be that the angle of the explosion may be changed significantly in that short time gap.

You see Ivan, Ukrainians cannot blow up tank if we cannot get into tank in first place.

I thought this post was a joke that their "new anti-drone protection" was the combination of "shitty gray twig camouflage + not even being outside in the first place"

It might be an attempt to confuse ai recognition, while still retaining some of the benefits of cope cages.
