You underestimate the hell that the cheap (flying) drones make all around the frontline at the moment. All objects, be it tank, bike, even humans most of the time are spotted at 10+ km depth and kill drones are deployed if the targets are deemed significant enough. Only the fastest or heavily protected thing have any chance of getting near, or over the contact line. And then you need to hide, fast, or get some artillery love. Slow, delicate and reasonably easily observable objects like these don’t have a chance (unless swarms of them are available to be deployed, which is really not the case).

In general yes but yes everything is vulnerable near the frontline? Hence why you would use a robot in place of a point soldier in some contexts?
