Kiev responds to growing threat from drones in the Ukrainian war. The new protection system aims to address this situation.
Kiev – Drones have become an integral part of 21st century warfare. They are also widely used on both sides in Ukraine. But this creates a problem with other weapons systems: many of the tanks used come from a time when engineers didn’t have to deal with anything like drone attacks.
Like an American news magazine Newsweek According to reports, Kiev is now reacting to this and wants to make the US-donated Abrams tanks safe against drone attacks. Tanks weighing 70 tons are mainly used in eastern Ukraine.
Abrams tanks get protection against drones in Ukraine war
A joint Ukrainian heavy industry initiative called “Steel Front” has developed a steel cage built atop the turrets of M1 Abrams tanks. “We are confident that these designs will help protect tanks and provide them with additional protection,” said Oleksandr Mironenko, head of operations at Metinvest Group within the “Steel Front” initiative. Newsweek.
The idea of additional protection is not new. During the war, which lasted more than two years, various and often improvised tower shields appeared again and again. These are intended to protect sensitive tank areas from controlled attacks on weak points.
Ukraine’s anti-drone parachutes appear to be well made
Matthew Moss, a small arms expert who teaches, says Steel Front’s anti-drone armor „appears well-made and stands in stark contrast to the improvised armor of the Russian Tortoise version, which is intended to provide similar protection against drones.” Ukraine war and adaptation of armored vehicles to drone countermeasures.
Moss said the Ukrainian versions appear to hinder the tank’s movements and reduce crew visibility Newsweek. New cages also cover the sides of the M1 Abrams turrets and the ammunition storage box located at the rear of the tank. He added that this is one of the car’s „weak points.”
“It remains to be seen whether the distance between the screen and the fuselage is large enough to provide full protection from FPVs,” Moss said. This probably refers to the digital displays of the tank driver and gunner of the four-man Abrams crew.
Tank Hunters: Drones are becoming increasingly important on the battlefield
Drones can be effectively used to damage key parts of tanks and even disable vehicles. After the successful drone attack, heavy armored vehicles became easy prey for artillery and anti-tank missiles. „Drones currently pose the greatest threat to tanks and all other armored vehicles used by the Ukrainian army,” said Mironenko of the Steel Front initiative.
Soviet-era Ukrainian tanks, such as the T-72, were the first to receive the upgrade. The 31 Abrams aircraft designs that were donated came later, according to Mironenko. He added that improvements are currently being made to the Bradley infantry fighting vehicles donated by the United States. The Abrams’ shields are larger than the cages attached to the T-72. Of the 25 cages already built as part of the Steel Front initiative, seven were designed to fit the Abrams.
Abrams Upgrades: Despite the increase in drone activity, tanks remain an important component of warfare
Abrams missiles are used exclusively by the 47th Mechanized Brigade of Ukraine. Tanks have been a major part of the fighting for Avdiivka for a long time. Footage of Abrams clashes with Russian forces fighting west of the Ukrainian city is regularly published.
In total, Ukraine lost five of 31 M1 Abrams tanks donated by the United States, such as one News agency mentioned. The proliferation of drones on the Ukrainian battlefield means there is „no longer any open terrain you can drive over without fear of being detected,” a senior US defense official said.
Abrams tanks were withdrawn from the front as a precaution. Vice Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Christopher Grady said that the Ukrainians and the United States want to discuss redirecting their tactics regarding the use of tanks. “Given how combat is evolving, tanks could be vulnerable in an environment where unmanned aerial systems (UAS) are everywhere,” Grady said in an interview with the New York Times Magazine. News agency He added that tanks are still important in war. (sky)

The Ukraine peace conference in Switzerland brings something tangible from the beginning. Kiev receives hundreds of millions of dollars from the United States for its infrastructure and humanitarian purposes. In addition, Austria and Italy clearly reject Putin’s alleged offer.
At the beginning of the Swiss peace conference for Ukraine, the United States promised Kiev millions more in aid for humanitarian purposes and the country’s energy grid. The US government announced that about $500 million (about 467 million euros) should be used to repair damage to energy infrastructure and better secure the energy grid.
$324 million (about €303 million) of funds previously promised by the United States must also be reallocated to these purposes. In addition, $379 million (about 354 million euros) will be allocated for humanitarian aid to provide Ukrainians who had to flee the country with food, water and shelter.
From the point of view of Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer, the Ukraine conference represents a possible way out of the impasse. “We are like a Western echo chamber,” the Austrian Prime Minister said on the sidelines of the two-day meeting in Bürgenstock near Lucerne. “We all agree, but this is not enough.” The goal of the European Union and the United States is to find additional allies in order to increase pressure on Moscow in the Ukraine war. He added: „Without parts of Asia, Africa and South America, we will not be able to convince the Russian Federation to change its mind.”
Countries such as India, Brazil, China and South Africa are of particular importance. Nehammer said the fact that India and Brazil were represented at the meeting – even if not at ministerial level – was a „first ray of hope”.
Schulz calls for a „just peace”
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni rejected Russian President Vladimir Putin’s alleged peace talks offer the previous day as „propaganda.” “It does not seem to me that this proposal is particularly effective as a negotiating proposal to demand that Ukraine withdraw from Ukraine,” Meloni said in a sarcastic tone at the press conference held at the end of the G7 summit in Italy. Putin’s comments were more like a „propaganda initiative.”
Chancellor Olaf Scholz also rejected Putin’s proposal, describing it as an „imposed peace.” “What we need is not a peace that is dictated to us, but a just peace that takes into account Ukraine’s safety and sovereignty,” he told ARD.
The Kremlin President had made the withdrawal of Ukrainian forces from four Russian-occupied regions of Ukraine a condition for a ceasefire and peace talks. Kiev will also have to give up its membership in NATO.
Heads of government and diplomats from 92 countries want to discuss the first steps of the peace process in Ukraine this weekend. Russia was not interested in the meeting and was not invited. Vice President Kamala Harris is there in the United States. She represents US President Joe Biden, who is holding campaign appointments in California.

One expert says that “The Line” in NEOM is a “completely crazy” project.
The futuristic city consists of two mirrored skyscrapers approximately 650 feet (about 198 meters) tall.
Architects and planners have long questioned the practicality and sustainability of the project.
The Line – a section of NEOM consisting of two mirrored skyscrapers – is one of the most prominent areas of the planned mega-city. Saudi Arabia’s plans for the futuristic city have stunned architects and designers. Also those who worked on the original designs. These giant structures have been criticized for their impact on wildlife, their suitability for everyday use and their general practicality.
Andreas Krieg is Professor at the Institute of Middle East Studies at King’s College London. He gave an interview to Business Insider and says The Line’s plans are „completely ridiculous.” “The line is an unsustainable project. It is a completely ridiculous mega-project that was never possible due to the enormous cost,” he explained. He said that while some areas of NEOM have clear goals, the central city “has no real purpose” or “use.”
The megacity will also include an octagonal floating city with a sustainable harbour, a luxury island resort and a ski and adventure mountain. “From a government trade strategy perspective, NEOM is a very viable project that has a lot to offer,” Craig said. “But you need a plan on how to implement it. So that it attracts investors. “Saudi Arabia has not done that yet,” he added.
Plans for the mega-city have reportedly been scaled back in recent months. Originally, The Line was expected to be inhabited by 9 million people by 2030. However, according to a recent report from Bloomberg, that estimate has been reduced to fewer than 300,000 people by that point.
Planners were also concerned about the costs associated with the project. Executives working at NEOM reportedly rejected the official $500 billion figure as unrealistically low. The first 1.5 miles (2.41 kilometers) of the road alone are expected to cost more than $100 billion (about 93 euros). Two people familiar with the work told the Wall Street Journal.
“The world has never seen anything like The Line before,” Craig said. “There has never been a project that has had so much like it resources „It was gutted and served no real purpose,” he added. Additionally, Craig is not the first to question the viability of the Shining City.
Last year, British architect Peter Cook, involved in the project, described the city as „amazing absurdity”. He added that the proposed height was „a bit ridiculous and unreasonable,” according to The Architect’s Journal. NEOM representatives did not respond to a request for comment.
