      Perhaps it’s to stop an aerial drone from dropping munitions down an open hatch, the way they’ve been dropping them on tanks and IFVs, rather than a drone just smashing into the conning tower…maybe someone else has a better explanation

      They need to make contact to really do damage, this detonates them before they can get close to anything important. I think that’s the idea.

      Edit: the other person seems more correct with the whole dropping things down the hatch idea, for my idea to work they’d have to cover everything
