Of course, now, primarily due to drone warfare and other new technological aspects of war, the role of tanks has changed significantly. The tasks of tank crew commanders have become much more complicated. But the importance of our tank forces remains very significant. The bravery and accuracy of our tank soldiers, the firepower and maneuverability of tanks, as before, are important for defending our Ukrainian positions and destroying Russian soldiers, their positions, and their fortifications.
