I read a story in the swedish mainstream press that ukrainian soldiers 
were very happy with the tanks and armoured vehicles donated by sweden. 
Apparently they can take an indirect hit and survive. They said in the 
article that they started to attach some artificial "net" or fabric 
structures to the tanks and vehicles with the purpose of making the drones 
exploned a tiny bit further away from the tank, than right on top. Have no 
idea if it makes sense, but that's what they said in the article.

They also said that the quality was much better than old russian crap they 
have before getting the new vehicles, but that spare parts were a problem.
