The recent Ukraine-Russia conflicts highlight the evolving nature of modern warfare. The effectiveness of a tank in today's battles is vastly different from its traditional role, as drones have become a game-changer on the battlefield. With the cost of producing drones being relatively low, ranging from a few thousand to tens of thousands of dollars, they can effectively destroy expensive armored carriers or tanks. Moreover, drones can be remotely controlled or programmed to operate autonomously, allowing them to strike their targets with precision.

Tank is not bad.
Just that the Russian is brain-dead when fighting Ukraine. They should be using Air power to secure the airspace needed. Then they bring in their tanks and infantry to hold the ground. This is the way to fight a war.
No one is going to do a tank battle like the Russia. It's resources depleting and it saps your morale.

That is because u don't understand modern warfare. what u are seeing in Ukraine is 2 third class armies fighting each other. The US Army does not fight this way and their tanks will be equipped differently. If the Ukrainian army was a mini version of the US Army, it would have recaptured all of the Crimea Peninsula and all the Donbass and Luhansk areas. Allegedly, the SAF is modeled on the US Army.
Russia initially secured control of much of the airspace, thanks to its air superiority over Ukraine with its fighter jets. However, this advantage is somewhat mitigated by the ease with which satellite imaging can detect and track the movement of large convoys in the sky, particularly with the assistance of Western and US friends

Russia never achieved air superiority in the Ukraine. Their jets and helos were getting shot down by a lot of manpads. And even when they did achieve local air superiority, they could not exploit it. satellites can't destroy ground targets. concentrate. u are wondering all over the place.
The satellite is not currently equipped with a firing system to engage ground targets, although this capability may be added in the near future for space warfare. Its primary function is to collect imaging data, which is then transmitted back to the control kitchens for analysis. The analyzed information is then used to activate the ground control missile system or to guide nearby fighter jets to launch air-to-ground missiles at the target.
I do not know
The Ukraine is utilizing a significant portion of decommissioned tanks from Western and US allies that have been donated to them. However, they are facing challenges in effectively employing these tanks, as well as difficulties with their maintenance. Meanwhile, Israel(closest example comparable to the US) is engaged in a conflict with Hamas in the Middle East. The Israeli military is using its locally produced Merkava battle tanks, which, despite their advanced capabilities, can be vulnerable to damage from primitive RPG attacks. In some cases, Hamas fighters have been able to attach explosive charges to the tanks, amplifying the damage caused by the RPG rounds. Despite being poorly equipped with advanced technology, Hamas has managed to achieve some successes, highlighting the effectiveness of unconventional tactics.
