It’s physically impossible to build an invulnerable vehicle that can also do thinks, like, actually move.

Media seems to have a weird problem understanding the whole idea that all armored vehicles (including tanks of all kinds) have always had enormous losses, withe pretty much the sole exception of the M1 in Gulf War I.

My son was an army scout in Iraq for more than a year. He worried about the vulnerability of his hummer. That is until he saw what a roadside bomb did to an MI. The turret landed more than a hundred feet away. An armored vehicle is like a bullet profess vest or a helmet: Gives you an edge against the guy who has none. But remember that many an unhorsed medieval knight had his throat slit by a peasant with a knife.
