"In the conditions of a modern military conflict, even a tank operating from a covered firing position is still an excellent target for drones." This point of view was expressed by military journalist, Komsomolskaya Pravda correspondent Dmitry Steshin.
According to him, tanks still operate successfully in cities, supporting infantry. However, crews are forced to carry a separate generator for electronic warfare systems, since the onboard power network cannot handle the load of powerful systems.
Producing today\'s tanks just for the sake of tanks is pointless and very expensive. But it is difficult to stop.
Steshin clarified that the most effective protection for tanks against drones remains the so-called "dandelion" - unraveled cables made of fiberglass reinforcement. In mass production, the "dandelion" will most likely be reinforced with thin and flexible steel strands in a plastic sheath, he believes.
I think they will also make reliable connectors. The costs are literally pennies. The price is negligible compared with the cost of a tank and the possibility of returning armored vehicles to service again.
Let us recall that earlier, Pervyi tekhnicheskii wrote in detail about tank protection in the form of a dandelion. There are even known cases when "dandelions" caught 20 kamikaze drones at once.
