This is 21st century… why are we still talking about tanks? In face of opponent of equal technical level, tank life span on battlefield measured in minutes. Tank works when you face bunch of natives with machine guns… not when your face modern anti-tank weapons.

Tanks work, the trouble with them in this conflict is that the Russians just drove them down roads in columns without adequate infantry support to clear defiles and reconnaissance to prevent/preempt ambushes. But now everyone says “hur dur tank dead” because they saw the shitshow.

Yeah exactly, with unencrypted comms! It’s driving me crazy now that every single main stream history/military YouTuber is now like “the tank is dead please like and subscribe” LMAO.

There are many tools that a single tank or entire force could use to counter such weapons.
