All tanks are a moving coffin friend. Doesn’t matter how new they are. The days of heavy armor are over.
Some are more survivable than others. I’d take an M1A2 Abrams with modern electronics and fire control over a T-(fill in the blank) that hasn’t been maintained since Desert Storm any day. Throw in modern ammo and you’ve got a winning weapon system.
I think there is a bit more time before that becomes apparent with respect to the M1, it’s like 2700 and 0 against other MBTs and I don’t think a single one has been irrepairably damaged by non-MBT action. They may have lost crew, but even the few we shot up in GW-I by other M1’s to keep from enemy, (they’d been disabled, track loss I believe) ended up being repaired and put back in service.
