Letter of 'Z' on their tanks, suggesting their demise.

Z is the very last of the English alphabet.

It also stands for Very The End.

US forces did it in WW2 with their Sherman tanks. Likewise here when the Army took back Lumpini they had wooden pallets on their Armoured Personell carriers.

 

They do it in the mistaken hope of providing enough standoff so that if a hollow charge warhead hits the jet of molten metal it produces will have its energy sufficiently dissipated by the wood that it won't penetrate the armour.
