Like the T-34 in its time, the T-72 tank has become a symbol of the modern era. But in the conflicts that took place on the territory of Syria, Libya and Karabakh, he could not resist the Turkish MAM-L laser-guided missile, which was dropped on enemy armored vehicles by strike Drones ANKA and Bayraktar TB2.
- noted in the edition SavunmaSanayiST.
Ukraine has already armed itself with Bayraktars. Its army also possesses the Javelin ATGM system, whose missiles operate in Top Attack mode [strike into the upper hemisphere of armored vehicles].

- the conclusion is made in the Turkish edition, while indicating that the grid can fight other threats, for example, with small ammunition fired from the UAV.
