The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

mall note. Battle tanks are your grandfather's war. Look at Ukraine. No more tanks on the battlefield, on either side. They were all destroyed by drones and hand carried missiles.

This is an ignorant post.

Ukraine’s Leopard 1A5 Tank Survives 52 Drone Strikes Using Layered Anti-Drone Armor in FPV-Dominated Warfare.
7 Apr, 2026 - 11:17
Defense News Army 2026
On April 6, 2026, Oboronka, the defense section of the Ukrainian outlet Mezha focused on the war and Ukraine’s defense industry, reported that a Ukrainian Leopard 1A5 had survived 52 strikes from Russian FPV and Molniya drones during a full day of attacks in February, with all crew members making it out alive.

Far from being just another battlefield anecdote, the episode highlights how legacy tanks are being reworked to survive in a combat environment dominated by cheap drones, overhead attack angles, and constant aerial surveillance. It also shows why older Western armor, when adapted properly, can still remain operationally relevant on a battlefield where visibility, protection, and recovery have become just as important as firepower.

Here's a YouTube video you won't watch that might also help:
