War always brings its share of initiative. In Ukraine, a domestic initiative gave birth to this, an "armoured" vehicle named "TORTILLA"

Superb siege breaker. Ought to make short work of any gate.
 
I'll take one with cheese and jalapenos. It's a tortilla if it gets flattened. No other comments, I'm impressed.
 
Hull developed by a boiler/pressure-vessel factory that's readily able to roll plate, and weld rolled-plate joints?

I'm assuming it's an APC.

Maybe they finessed the heavy-armor/tool-steel plate availability and fabrication questions by using two layers of rollable-thickness, readily available boiler plate with an available high-hardness, moderate-density filler between them. Maybe aluminum oxide balls?
 
Reminds me of the battering ram story in Mark Thomas' 'As used on the Famous Nelson Mandela'.
