so current generation NATO tanks wouldnt die to FPV drones?

I don’t think there were any 2A7s send to ukraine though, 2A4s, maybe some 2A5s (unsure about this one though), 2A6s and a bunch of Strv 122s iirc in terms of Leo 2s.
No they don’t? I shoot t series tanks a lot so i absolutely know how inconsistent their ERA is when shot at
And I have no idea what fuel tanks have to do with my comment
That’s not really a generation defining metric, is it?
You bring up a good point. Why doesn’t Russia have the T-14 Armata? It’s actually older than some nato tanks in game, and debuted when the T-90M debuted.
I’m 100% certain Leo 2a7 - leo1s are in Ukraine.

2a6s definitely showed up. I saw an article on ground news saying they supplied like 8-10 2a7s
Edit: the ones from denmark never got sent.

Always a chance, but they would likely employ systems to counter them.
either kinetically or using EW/Lasers
Trophy can now intercept a vertically diving drone, Russia pretend to be on NATOs levels by still sending in tanks to die to FPV drones. When they have an APS system developed to supposedly defeat top attack munitions like Javelin and Hellfire.
2A6 and Swedish Strv 122B along with 2A5s
Well that just shows that FPVs are extremely dangerous for unsupported tanks not that Russian tanks are peers for western ones
That would be insanely surprising since no German government report ever mentioned 2A7s. Only 2A6s
Maybe you should send your example of a 2a7 getting destroyed so we can check what version it is
No need to get riled up. You posted a clip from a year ago when the Abrams didn’t have a turret basket. If you make the exact same shot now there’s a guaranteed chance to take out the horizontal drive. If you want to prove something do it with the current updated models.
Isnt Trophy the Israel one? The one that was recently seen on tanks in a certain conflict… that were all being knocked out by RPG-7s? The things Trophy was specifically meant to stop? Yeah… lol sure, I’m sure those will work just fine.

The TURRET basket is Irrelevant.
you are quite literally avoiding the fact, that the dart WENT THROUGH AKA HIT, the drivers arm, THE GUNNERS LEG, and the commanders foot.
A 152mm dart….

Your shot could’ve turned around and hit all the crew members in the head, it doesn’t matter. Your clip is from a year ago with outdated models. The Abrams can’t “shake” that shot anymore. Today at the worst you still take out the turret ring.
If we had the same model for the Abrams and with fixed turret ring armor i wouldn’t be here.
you seem to fail to understand that the damage to the tanks isnt the problem
the dart flew through the crew memebers without even damaging them
the turret basket wouldnt change that

Yes and they taken those lessons learned and now it can stop FPV drones quoted at a near vertical angle
How much are you willing to bet on that?

There’s also that famous vid of a 2A6 pummeling T-72s with HE rounds but that might take a bit longer to find lol
Can we have the footage of the T-72 “battling” 2A7s and winning now, or are you a pot calling kettle black type of guy who can only hold onto straws when arguing?
