French 7th Armored Brigade tests modular 'Lego brick' tank teams vs drones

France’s 7th Armored Brigade is experimenting with breaking traditional tank platoons into smaller modular combined-arms “bricks” (e.g., 2 tanks + 2 light vehicles) to reduce signature and present less cost-effective targets in a drone-saturated battlespace. The concept also extends to dispersible command-post “bricks” and greater small-unit autonomy, reflecting doctrinal adaptation to persistent UAV surveillance and strike threats.
