Drones are causing 75x as many Russian casualties as tanks. Just incredible.

That’s a crazy stat I do wonder what the future of drone warfare will be like with the addition of large air forces on the battlefield, e.g. the US

If I read the thread right, they're *counting* for 75x as many casualties, as Russian dead from tank combat may never be counted as anything but "missing in action."

The job of tanks is not to kill infantry. Soldiers are killed by artillery and bombs. Then bullets. Tanks destroy tanks, positions, fortifications. Seldom are they used against infantry.
