Vikram Mittal,
Although drones have shaped the Russia-Ukraine War, the backbone of both militaries is still their armored vehicles, including tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and self-propelled howitzers. Indeed, armored vehicles are central to assaulting or defending terrain, while drones play a supporting role in these operations.
The effectiveness of drone strikes has limited the employment of armored vehicles, contributing to the current battlefield stalemate. In response, Russia and Ukraine have modified their armored vehicles to protect against drone strikes. The most recent adaptations, known as hedgehog tanks, use large numbers of protruding wires extending from the vehicle to disrupt FPV drones as they approach. This method has shown some success, prompting both sides to develop new drone tactics and specialized munitions to defeat these vehicles.
