Russian troops demonstrated the "Arena"-M active defense system for tanks and armored vehicles again. The test video released by the Russian Defense Ministry showed that the "Arena" M successfully resisted attacks from anti-tank missiles with a low attack angle and rocket-propelled grenades with a high attack angle. This system should have no major problems dealing with swarms of suicide drones, but the key issue is whether it can handle consecutive attacks from multiple batches of suicide drones. If this issue and reliability issues can be resolved, large-scale armored cluster assaults will likely reappear on the Ukraine battlefield.
Previously, some Russian media had reported that the "Arena"-M active defense system has entered the frontlines for practical testing.
