Tanks are not out of the game yet. What makes the operation that ruined Putin's plans exceptional

The Ukrainian army has successfully executed coordinated attacks using armored vehicles, infantry, and drones, reclaiming territory from Russian forces. The operation, named Vivaldi, demonstrated that mechanized maneuvers are still viable in modern warfare dominated by drones. Analysts noted this as a significant tactical breakthrough, with the 3rd Army Corps leading the charge and achieving substantial territorial gains. However, the operation faced challenges, including heavily mined areas and drone threats. Despite these obstacles, the use of drones for logistics and combat has become increasingly important for Ukrainian forces, although they remain vulnerable to enemy fire.
