MBTs can still be effective if used correctly, but everyone is scrambling to figure out the new doctrine.

The author starts by praising the T-14 Armada, which isn't in service and doesn't actually exist as a viable weapon since it was a Russian propaganda/ grift program. I didn't bother reading after that.

The author ranks the T-72 as the world’s greatest tank.

1. Russian T-72
The reason that this old Soviet tank is the best in the world is because of the fact that it is used by multiple countries.
“this is the greatest tank in the world today.”

I always laugh at those sanctimonious “I stopped reading when “…

Had you read a bit more you would have seen this’

“Billed as Russia’s greatest tank, this tank is almost too overrated to waste time writing about. Yes, it is truly next-level.

But it is so advanced that it’s way too expensive and complicated to produce in large numbers. Because of its unique technological nature, the tank was pulled early on from the frontlines of Ukraine out of fear that losing even one of these MBTs would be gravely detrimental to Russia. So, regardless of the high level of technology built into this platform; irrespective of how scared of it Western strategists are, it’s a wasting asset for Russia.
