He has invested some time and imagination in that..though I am unsure if an apparently levitating tree log would fool many people for long. Kudos for sheer effort though!

Nah, that's not a tank.
Harry, since when does a hill have grenade launchers?
Using the sod cuts down on the thermal signature so the tank wouldn't be easily visible at range with a thermal sight. That's also what the wood on the barrel could be for too. It's not metal so doesn't look any different than the background to a casual scan.
If you think about this as scanning with through a gunner's thermal sight it's a lot more effective than just a hill with a floating log.

Well, the crew did a fine job there.
What tank is it by the way, can anyone ID it? I have no clue about modern armour^^.

Could be wrong, but looks like a T-80. It's russian for sure, but I would assume it's a t80.
