Ukraine strengthens Leopard tank defenses with additional anti-drone nets  - 1

Due to heavy losses of Leopard tanks, Ukraine has begun to install additional protection on them, as quoted by Focus.

According to the American publication Business Insider, the Ukrainian armed forces have already lost 40 of these tanks (with the clarification that these figures have not been officially confirmed).

In response, Kiev began ordering additional anti-drone defense nets for German armored vehicles.

One such network costs $20,000, the article states.

Previously, the Russian armed forces began to massively use similar anti-drone structures on their armored vehicles.
