In the drone age, drones are built in massive numbers, usually in the thousands a year. Sure, there may be hundreds of tanks, but that is no match for thousands of drones.

Termite drones are mass produced. War has advanced from the bone spear age to the iron age to the gun age and now to the drone age. The advantage of drones is drones are built in massive numbers and very quick and easy to train crew.

EMP And GPS/radio jamming can negate drone use. JUst have to use them. Its obvious you are a spammer from russia.

EW has range limitation. Helicopters like Termite can moosh tank from up to 6 km away. EW cannot counter that.

Kiev got hit again. Looks AD missiles are running short on quantity after wasting them on cheap drones.

That's in the stone age.

T-80 tanks are upgraded thermal, digital fire control computer, laser rangefinder. What's important is there are thousands of these built in the USSR days. Way more than how many tanks the US has.

Ukrainian army Leopard 1 tanks. These were originally built in the 1960s or early / mid 1970s before production switched to Leopard 2. It's good but quantity is too small.
