Russians have been making front line modifications to protect against drones. Basically putting tanks in moving sheds(Turtle tanks). Completely unviable but it is hillarious to see how much paint they have to put on to deem it as captured.

So, does the entire shed have to spin when the turret moves or can the tank only shoot straight forward now?

The "tank" has an immobile or mostly immobile turret, depending on the particular design of this piece of battlefield ingenuity. Units appear to be making these modifications at the frontline to improve survivability against FPV drones but there isn't a standard package.
