According to military analyst David Ax of Forbes, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have, for the first time since the onset of the full-scale war, approached a position of superiority over Russian troops in the use of tanks. However, this is limited to specific areas of the front.

This was reported by Glavpost, referencing Forbes.

The primary reason for this shift in the balance of power is the effectiveness of Ukrainian FPV drones, which restrict the operations of Russian tanks. As noted by a Russian military blogger, Russian tanks are forced to operate only from concealed firing positions, as drone strikes eliminate them before they even reach the firing line.

In contrast to Russian equipment, Ukrainian tanks enjoy greater maneuverability despite attacks from Russian drones, as they are better protected against electronic warfare measures. However, Russian forces maintain their combat effectiveness and continue to adapt to the current situation, utilizing tanks for short-range bombardments in secondary sectors.

The tactics of using tanks and drones are likely to be a key factor in the further evolution of hostilities, where the decisive element will not be the quantity of equipment, but its effective application in the context of modern technologies.
