This makes no sense, while it is the hottest and highest technological level, there’s a dozen or more active or semi-active conflicts going on and the hotter ones like Syria routinely involve tanks. Myanmar/Burma is another pretty hot one if lower in armor activity than Syria, and the anti coup forces could use all the help they can get. Hell, flying drones over the Sudanese RSF/Army conflict areas for data and calling it humanitarian monitoring would be useful.
