Russian tank survives 40 drone strikes; armored warfare adapts to drone threat

New videos and expert accounts indicate Russian upgraded tanks with 'tsar tent' cages, Arena-M active protection, and drone-hunting tactics are surviving mass drone attacks, with one tank reportedly enduring 40 strikes. This suggests a potential shift in mechanized warfare as armor adapts to drone saturation, though Moscow has not officially confirmed effectiveness. The development matters as it could alter combined-arms tactics and defense procurement priorities.
