廉价无人机击败昂贵坦克。指挥官透露，在一次大型军事演习中，乌克兰无人机操作员造成了美军一个坦克旅70%的伤亡——这表明这种新型战争形式可能对美军在下一场冲突中造成致命打击。
Cheap drone beats expensive tank. Ukrainian drone operators inflicted 70% of an American tank brigade’s casualties in a major military exercise, the commander has revealed — suggesting the new form of warfare could be deadly for American troops in the next conflict.
一份新发布的概览报告展示了今年春季在德国举行的军事演习，证明了乌克兰无人机部队在多年对抗俄罗斯的实战经验后所具备的毁灭性能力。
A newly published overview of the military drills held in Germany over the spring demonstrated the devastation Ukraine’s drone unit was capable of after years of experience fighting against Russia.
第1骑师第3装甲旅战斗队指挥官迈克尔·齐格尔霍弗上校写道：“俄乌战争是二战以来欧洲最大的冲突，过去四年间，它从根本上改变了当今战争的性质。”
“The Russo-Ukrainian war is the largest conflict in Europe since the Second World War, and over the past four years, it has fundamentally changed today’s character of war,” Col. Michael Ziegelhofer, commander of the 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, wrote.
售价500美元的乌克兰无人机与美军最先进的重型装甲正面交锋——包括全面升级的、单价2500万美元的M1A2“艾布拉姆斯”坦克和M2A3“布拉德利”步兵战车。
The $500 Ukrainian drones went up against the best American heavy armor — including fully upgraded $25 million M1A2 Abrams tanks and M2A3 Bradley fighting vehicles.
这场于4月举行的兵棋推演主要以无人机战争为特征，在美军“灰狼”分队与乌克兰“复仇女神”分队为期10天的对抗中，记录了750多次无人机攻击。
The war games, held in April, were largely characterized by drone warfare, with more than 750 UAV attacks recorded during the 10-day event between the US team, Greywolf, and the Ukrainian unit, Nemesis.
首日由乌克兰第412无人系统团发动的猛烈攻势，迅速迫使美军调整战术，将重心转向反无人机作战以求生存。
The onslaught of the first day — conducted by Ukraine’s 412th Regiment of Unmanned Systems Forces — quickly forced the US troops to adapt and focus on anti-drone warfare to persevere.
美军旅部署了电子战和反无人机系统干扰无人机，但部队被迫弥补该战术的弱点，因为这使他们暴露在光纤第一人称视角（FPV）无人机的攻击之下。
The US brigade enacted electronic warfare and counter-drone systems to jam the UAVs, with the troops forced to make up for the tactic’s weaknesses that left them exposed to fiber-optic first-person-view drones.
齐格尔霍弗及其参谋部表示，随着新系统投入使用，且部队分散兵力以压制无人机飞手，美军分队成功突破敌方防线，到第三天结束时，无人机造成的伤亡比例已降至30%以下。作者们总结其战略时得出结论：“‘灰狼’改变了作战方式。”
With the new systems in place and the troops splitting up their forces to overwhelm drone pilots, the US team was able to break through the enemy line, Ziegelhofer and his staff said, noting that drone related casualties fell below 30% by the end of the third day. “Greywolf changed how it fought,” the authors concluded about their strategy.
“在‘灰狼’旅的‘联合决心’轮训期间，……该旅学到了将其能力与反无人机系统（UAS）装备、战术、技术和程序相结合的关键经验，这最终使该旅级战斗队成功对装备有持续无人机感知打击能力的专家级对抗部队实施了两次同步联合兵种破障行动，”该部队补充道。
“During Greywolf’s Combined Resolve rotation, the brigade… learned critical lessons in integrating their capabilities alongside counter-unmanned aircraft system (UAS) equipment and tactics, techniques, and procedures, which ultimately led to the brigade combat team’s success in conducting two simultaneous combined arms breaches against an expert opposing force equipped with persistent drone sense-and-strike capability,” the unit added.
该演习凸显了无人机如何已成为现代战争的标志性武器，乌克兰和俄罗斯每周都向对方发射数百架不断改进的无人机。
The exercise highlighted how drones have become the defining weapon of modern war, with Ukraine and Russia firing hundreds of ever-evolving UAVs at each other every week.
伊朗还利用其“见证者”自杀式无人机——俄罗斯对其进行了改进——袭击中东地区的美军。
Iran has also utilized its Shahed suicide drones, which Russia has improved upon, to attack US forces in the Middle East.
乌克兰的无人机研发使该国收到了来自中东国家的大量请求，希望协助改进其无人机和反无人机技术。
Ukraine’s drone development has left the country with a flood of requests from nations in the Middle East to help improve their UAV and counter-UAV technology.
