"It is hard to exaggerate just how many tanks the drones are destroying. One exceptional Ukrainian FPV operator was recently decorated for destroying 42 Russian tanks and 82 other armored vehicles over a 5-month period. It would be hard to match these numbers with any other weapon; missiles like Javelin simply are not supplied in large enough quantities. But Ukraine aims to produce 1.5 million drones this year, enough for multiple FPVs not just to attack every tank but every Russian soldier. The Russians aim to produce a similar number."

A tank is an armoured fighting vehicle intended as a primary offensive weapon in front-line ground combat. Tank designs are a balance of heavy firepower, strong armour, and battlefield mobility provided by tracks and a powerful engine; their main armament is often mounted within a turret. They are a mainstay of modern 20th and 21st century ground forces and a key part of combined arms combat.

"Ukraine now builds and deploys more than 50,000 single-use drones a month; Russia seemingly builds and deploys slightly fewer. In any event, the tiny robots are wreaking havoc on tanks on both sides. The Russians losses now exceed 2,600 tanks. That’s more than 10 times as many tanks as are in the entire British Army. Ukrainian tank losses exceed 600. The Russians in particular have lost so many tanks that their factories can’t produce enough new tanks to make good their losses; instead, they are pulling thousands of old tanks leftover from the Cold War out of long-term storage and giving them a quick overhaul before shipping them off to the front."
