How does our M-1 Abrams compare to the Merkava MK-4? The Merkava looks “mean”.

This sounds really cool and gee-whiz, but as long as the Chicoms, the Russians, the Norks, et al, maintain large tank fleets, we're going to need better tanks than theirs to kill them. Just because tank-on-tank combat isn't happening
right now doesn't mean it'll never happen again.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Geez. The Israelis discovered the Shillelagh missile. The old tank/antitank argument. I used to train my Infantry Soldiers to wear body armor in the assault. My little Ranger Lieutenants told me that body armor was worthless. It just slowed them down and made them hot. They thought the Kevlar helmet was worthless, too. They could just wear a patrol cap. But, when the shooting starts..everyone wants armor.

Where are the robot tanks to go along with all the robot aircraft? There is no need for humans onboard so the need for heavy armour is much less. Robot tanks can be smaller, faster, and absolutely fearless. In Libya right now the tank drivers are too afraid to drive their tanks but smaller faster robot tanks would be in use.

In Europe, two contractors, Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW) and Rheinmetall, are working on armor protection and weapon systems for MBTs and infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs), which not only enhance performance and situational awareness, but give crews more time to make decisions—a key advantage in low-intensity combat.
