Ukrainian drones overwhelm Russian tanks’ new active protection system—for now
摘要
俄罗斯坦克首次携带新型主动防护系统“竞技场-M”投入乌克兰战场，该系统旨在拦截来袭无人机，但实战表现有限。7月22日，俄军在顿涅茨克地区发起连级规模进攻，乌军击退攻击并击毁至少7辆T-72B3A坦克，其中部分装有该系统。乌方士兵证实该系统确实击落了部分无人机，但每辆坦克需消耗15至20架无人机才能摧毁，显示其防护能力在饱和攻击下仍显不足。
Russian tanks have entered battle for the first time with a new active protection system designed to shoot down incoming drones. But the technology’s recent combat debut in Ukraine met with only limited success—Ukrainian drones still destroyed the Russian armored vehicles by attacking in overwhelming numbers.
The first documented battlefield appearance of the Arena-M active protection system took place when Russian forces launched a company-size assault with tanks and other armored vehicles in the Donetsk Oblast of eastern Ukraine on July 22. The Ukrainian defenders repelled the attack and posted video footage of their kamikaze drone strikes destroying at least seven T-72B3A tanks, including some that carried the Arena-M system, according to Euromaidan Press.
However, Ukrainian soldiers also described the Russian Arena-M system successfully shooting down some incoming drones, according to the journalists Dmytro Putiata and Rob Lee. The Ukrainians reported requiring between 15 and 20 drones to finish off each tank.
