Rangers Test Drones

The Army’s 75th Ranger Regiment has tested using First Person View, or FPV, one-way attack drones to destroy enemy tanks, drawing heavily from tactics that have become commonplace in the Russia-Ukraine war.

These experiments are one example of how the U.S. military is racing against time to ramp up production of small drones, as both Ukraine and Israel have used the unmanned aerial systems to launch devastating attacks against their adversaries.

Haven't the Ukrainians already proven that?

Drones do not have to penetrate the armor - just blow the tracks rendering the vehicle inoperable- if the crew tries to fix the tracks, they receive drone visits just like in the real war in Ukraine.
