Russian T-90M Tanks in Ukraine Receive ERA Advanced Armor to Counter Drone Threats

This move to upgrade the T-90M’s defenses is a clear indication of the evolving nature of armored warfare on the Ukrainian battlefield. Traditional tank defense strategies, focusing primarily on frontal and lateral protection, are increasingly inadequate against these new aerial threats. The introduction of such an anti-drone armor package represents a strategic shift, acknowledging the need to adapt to the changing dynamics of modern combat, where loitering munitions pose a significant challenge.
