Russia has been trying to thwart air attacks on its tanks for months. Since the fall, the tanks have been equipped with radio jammers to distract the drones.

But after initial success, the effect seems to have fizzled out, according to Russian military bloggers. According to British intelligence estimates, Putin's fleet has lost up to 2,600 tanks since the start of the Ukraine war. Increasing losses in the Ukrainian war show that the anti-tank defenses are failing. A video that recently appeared on Twitter shows how effective drone attacks are.
