"...manned tanks are the past.."

Wow, I can tell from your words that you come from a civilized, Western country that puts a high value on human life.

Other countries, more primitive than ours, do not have that handicap. Their soldier are expendable.

No man means no need for heavy armor. The entire idea of an armored tank is obsolete.
