The project "enhanced turtle" (or turtle improved) was a struggle vehicle chassis from its roll of 2.5 m to 6.6 m in diameter should be. The Russian engineer Navrotsky proposed this vehicle before it should weigh 192 to 200 tonnes and has three rollers move.
The armament should consist of a complex of weapons exist - 16 guns and ten machine guns.
The turtle was a manually moving a protective shield for protecting Infantryman.
