As the drone battle in Ukraine unfolds, the US Army is scrambling to get its soldiers a new one-way tank-buster

• The US Army is rushing to develop its own tank-killing drone that soldiers can carry into combat.
• The weapon will be a loitering munition, a type of drone being used widely in the war in Ukraine.
• A drone powerful enough to destroy a tank but cheap enough for mass employment would be valuable.

As kamikaze drones wreak havoc in the Ukraine war, the US Army is rushing to develop its own tank-killing version.

The Low Altitude Stalking and Strike Ordnance program aims to develop a lightweight weapon that can be carried by soldiers in the Army's Infantry Brigade Combat Teams.
