Tanks are not obsolete. What is outdated is their use without the support of combined arms that include UAVs.
A Ukrainian commander involved in Operation Vivaldi told military analyst Rob Lee that one of his Tiger tanks survived 45 Russian FPV attacks and remains operational.
He still appreciates tanks and expects successful mechanized assaults in the future.
Vivaldi was involved in 2 successful mechanized assaults behind Russian lines.
In one, armor penetrated to a distance of 4.5 km, and deployed infantry to eliminate Russian drone operators.
Combined arms have always been essential. It only took 3 years after the devastating 2023 counterattack to properly incorporate drones into the equation.
