Highly-anticipated Western tanks delivered to Ukraine are largely unused on the battlefield. Initially touted as a crucial weapon in the fight against Russia, these tanks are now often left idle in forests. The shift is due to the increased prevalence and effectiveness of cheaper drone technology. Drones have made deploying heavily armored vehicles extremely risky in modern combat. This development suggests a change in the nature of warfare in Ukraine, revealing the vulnerability of traditional armor against modern drone tactics. The situation raises questions about the future utility of expensive tank programs in an era dominated by drone warfare.
