Translation:

In one battle, Mykolaiv paratroopers destroyed 5 tanks and 4 enemy infantry fighting vehicles.

The enemy once again tested the stability of the defense of paratroopers of the 79th separate airborne assault brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who are carrying out combat missions in Donetsk region.

At dawn, the Russian occupiers began an assault on the positions of the Maroon Berets from Mykolaiv. To achieve the effect of complete surprise, the enemy used smoke. However, reconnaissance noticed the advance of the enemy column in time and the artillery of the paratroopers began to inflict fire damage on the enemy.

Together to victory! VAT - Always First! Glory to Ukraine!

    Modern tanks are what, $5-10 million each? Drones, these days, are in the $500-10k range.

    As a complete layman who doesn’t have much idea what he’s talking about, I’d be curious if 1k drones would be more effective at destroying targets than 1 tank.

      The main difference is the ability to take and hold territory. Aircraft are great at blowing stuff up, much better than tanks, but aircraft cannot capture a position. Same thing with the drone, a drone is absolutely better at blowing up targets in a trench, but those drones cannot capture the position, a tank can. Both systems are important, both systems have their own role.
