Ukraine to Deploy Hybrid Tanks for Enhanced Drone Defense

German-made 'Frankenstein' tanks combine Cold War-era chassis with advanced air defense systems to counter Russian threats.

Rheinmetall's new design mounts Skyranger turrets on Leopard tank chassis.
These tanks are equipped with 35mm auto-cannons and advanced radar for 360-degree threat detection.
Ukraine has already received nearly 100 Leopard 1 tanks and continues to seek additional support.
The new tanks aim to address the increasing threat of drone swarms and artillery fire on the front lines.
Rheinmetall has opened a facility in Ukraine to repair damaged tanks, ensuring rapid redeployment.
