Why doesnt everyone just slap on extra modular armor like the island changs in Singapore? Sounds cheap and effective. You could just strip a busted one out and put a brand new on back on.
There is really 0 excuse to have your turret tossed when this exists

Looks susceptible to top attack munitions. Thats a 4 man coffin when tracks.

The effectiveness really depends on what weapons you're facing. In some cases it might increase survivability massively, in others it might be either unnecessary or too weak to do anything.
And it has very real downsides - more ground pressure, worse ability to pass through difficult terrain, lower top speed, more fuel consumption.

Would you say this is better or worse than Ukrainian ERA bricklaying?

Singapore's Army is purely defensive. Their tanks are basically mobile bunkers. Strapping heavy applique armor drastically increases the tank's weight and fuel consumption but these don't matter when the tank is used defensively. Singapore's main line of defence is it's navy and airforce. t. Malaysian.
