Russians will hate the lates

Okay, to simplify the procedure of bolting on armour, they needn't use bolts at all, just slot them into place with gravity where they'd be held by lugs and brackets that were welded onto the tank at the factory, then just tighten a few screws to stop them jolting out, a 5-minute job at the most..:)
Hey that was how armoured side skirts were attached to some Stugs and panzers, they just hung on a welded-on frame, so it's nothing new except I'm talking about thick slabs of armour to be slotted into brackets on the hull and turret fronts..:)
