What immediate impact has the deployment of the 'mangal' protective cages had on the safety of Russian military medical evacuation teams?

The Russian Volunteer Front is equipping UAZ evacuation vehicles with new protective cages called "mangals." These cages increase the distance between the vehicle and an explosion, minimizing damage and improving the survival chances of the crew and wounded soldiers. The mangals are being deployed following requests from military medics who tested and approved their effectiveness.
