Russia has been trying to thwart air attacks for months. 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. A video shows tank loss for Russia's army that recently appeared on X (formerly Twitter) shows how effective the drone attacks are on a snowy field.
