NATO believes Ukraine destroyed most Russian tanks with drones over past several months

Over the past few months, more than two thirds of Russian tanks were destroyed by Ukrainian soldiers with the help of the FPV drones, which shows that Kyiv relies on this particular weapon more and more amidst the acute artillery ammunition deficit.
Foreign Policy reported this with reference to an official representative of NATO.
The story says the FPV drones used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine have low efficiency. They are equipped with cheap cameras which makes it harder to aim at night or in cloudy weather, and often carry improvised explosive devices, which sometimes explode right in the air or do not detonate at all.
İt is nted that in the third year of Russia’s full-scale invasion, FPV drones have become nearly ubiquitous on the Ukrainian battlefield. Many of them can carry 10 pounds of explosives or more, and after nearly 780 days of nonstop war, drone pilots on both sides have gotten plenty of practice. But for every success, there are nearly as many blooper reel-worthy incidents. These aren’t the $20 million-a-piece Predator drones that the United States uses to hunt terrorist targets in the Middle East. These are inexpensive off-the-shelf drones that go for $400.
The analysts surveyed by Foreign Policy believe that the FPV drones attacks on the Russian tanks have controversial results.
Rob Lee, senior fellow of the Eurasian Program of the Institute of Foreign Policy Research, indicates that a general accuracy of FPV-drones is less than 50%, and in some cases as many as 10 or more drones are needed to destroy a tank.
At the same time, Lee states, Russia is running out of armoured vehicles and tanks so while preserving current dynamics in the combat zone Moscow may lose its quantitative superiority and make conducting its own offensive operations in the future more difficult.
"The issue is that Russia’s getting a lot of manpower," Lee added.
At the beginning of the year, the UK Defence Intelligence analysed the influence of FPV drones over the situation on the left bank of Kherson Oblast and explained why it is difficult for the Russian occupiers to counteract them.
