Our wise and infallible leaders are just keeping the superweapons to themselves. Why wouldn't they? After all, Ukraine is doing fine without them, they're killing 14 Russians for every Ukrainian casualty, and the Ukrainians all get medical treatment and can return to the front, while Russians who are injured invariably die. Aren't you aware that Ukraine now has artillery superiority over the entire front? If Russia attacks Poland or the Baltics then NATO absolutely has the means to counter Russian drones, and then the superior NATO equipment and doctrine will prevail. The tolerance, diversity, and economic prosperity of Europe is proof that the Europeans are racially superior to the Russians, and without Europe the stupid Russians will eventually collapse and the most valuable parts of Russia will be ruled by benevolent European peacekeepers and the rest will be kept unstable to threaten China. This will secure American global dominance for the foreseeable future, so we will always be able to serve Our Greatest Ally.

>Same goes for drone cameras.
Drones equipped with thermals or just flying blind into a cloud of smoke would remain effective. A tank is a lot bigger than a drone, the drone has a lot better chance of hitting a tank flying blind than vice versa.
>Against ground clutter it wont be easy, but against sky it is easy. Plus it gets much easier once you get close. At 1km range its basically operating as early warning.
Even against the sky the adversary will quickly come up with paint jobs and other tricks to confuse image recognition algorithms. These will be patched fairly quickly, but they'll keep coming up with new options until your image recognition is so broad you're back shooting birds and leaves.
>Given the parameters of the situation that's bordering impossible.
If you're only using optical image recognition then there are going to be plenty of ways to fool that using false perspective or projectors or all sorts of tricks.
