WNU Editor: Ukraine President Zelensky is correct. 31 US Abrams tanks on the battlefield are not going to change the course of this war. This war has also shown how to disable a $10 million dollar tank with a drone that is worth a few thousand. One has to wonder if the age of the tank is coming to an end.
Update: Zelensky admits that Abrams tanks unable to reverse situation on battlefield (TASS).

I said Russia tank advantage did and did not matter with so many drones.
You still need drones. Drones are a mix of aviation and artillery.
You win in the air and the artillery duels, then you push your troops forward. To push your troops forward you use artillery covering for tanks and IFVs. The IFV get the troops there and the tanks hit hard spots like machine guns nests. So tanks are still needed.
But Joe Biden, who is loosey goosey, because he has been bought by everyone, has not provided Ukraine with aircraft, missiles like Russia (quantity) or artillery (quantity).
The Ukrainians are better at artillery and have better targeting priority lists. The Russian targeting priority lists includes civilian housing and hospitals. The Russians have been reducing their OODA loop (per Dara Massicot).
They won't win the war , but interesting to know of any stat's on their kill to loss ratio
