The UCAVs that came up to the international agenda after the Karabakh War between Azerbaijan and Armenia also raised the question of “Is there no more room for tanks on the battlefield?” We directed this question to Retired Tank Colonel Murat Kaymakcı, Secretary General of DASA (Defense, Aerospace Association) and Expert in Armored Military Land Vehicles.
