Russia’s so-called “porcupine tank” was destroyed in dramatic footage released by Ukraine’s “Birds of Magyar” unit on May 23. The vehicle, equipped with long metal spikes to stop drone attacks, was quickly eliminated by a kamikaze FPV drone. Just days later, on May 26, Euromaidan Press confirmed the tank’s failure.
This latest incident underscores the depth of Russia’s armored vehicle crisis. Ukraine reports Russia has lost over 10,800 tanks, with current losses around 250 tanks per month—compared to only 30–35 tanks built or restored monthly in 2025. With stockpiles nearly depleted, Russia’s armored forces appear more vulnerable than ever.
