I’m sorry, but I must disagree. The age of highly-effective man-portable AT weapons which cost but a fraction of the tanks themselves) has arrived. AFAIK no tank on the planet can withstand a strike from a Javelin.

Even more tellingly, the age of drones has arrived.

Those who continue to defend the utility of tanks are no different from the “battleship mafia” that scoffed at the power of early aircraft carriers. To something in the air, a tank is a slow-moving target, just like the battleships were…and tank armor is thinnest on top.

But that’s not all. With the advent of drones (and of *swarms* of armed and AI-controlled drones), within 20 years, sending infantrymen out to the field will be a death sentence. The shift to drones will be the biggest development in warfare since the advent not just of aircraft, but of gunpowder itself. And no, that is not an exaggeration. It’s a sad observation on just how cruel warfare will become.
