It's basically just a ultra cheapo disposable APC. Tanks that were too broken to be refurbished after being stored in the open for half a century. The driver can barely see, there are no defensive weapons and the mobiks just ride along on top inside the "shed". From what I've seen, they are not really expected to return after dropping off the troops.
If the orcs are down to sending out an "APC" that only holds 3 personnel (plus the driver), then this is looking good for Ukraine!
I think so too. Here's the video if you're interested in the details:

That was an amazing walkthrough!
I initially thought that the main gun on that may have just broken along the way, but the fact that the reloading door was welded shut certainly corrects my error. I wonder if this was some kind of training tank to teach driving, so it would never had need of functional turret or ammo loading system.
