And a few saudis with some boxcutters makes some huge flying missles full of jet fuel and a 20 year war, where the taliban got replaced with the taliban. Asymetric warfare was always a thing... be it sharply cut bamboo for paratroopers, molotov cocktails for burning down buildings to laser pointers against helicopters.
A better question here is, what kind of a shitty tank this is, with all the "active armor" and other sales buzzwords, that can't even survive something dropped from a cheap drone (so, relatively light and weak compared to conventional munitions used in the stationary/ground battlefield), while at the meantime the same people are making fun of russian "cope cages".
- tetromino_ 3y ago> what kind of a shitty tank this is Evidence suggests all modern tanks without "cope cages" are vulnerable. There are videos from this month of FPV drones destroying a bunch of Leopard 2's and even a Merkava.
- ajsnigrutin 3y agoWell yeah, but tanks are a "living" thing, they get modified, updated, upgraded... more than a year has gone by from when the russians put "cope cages" on, the "international community" (eu, us, au) lauged, and the germans are still holding a comitee if mounts for the cope-cage poles should use M10 or M12 nuts and bolts. It's been almost two years now, it's not a hard modification.
