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!

Tanks against infantry.
Infantry against tanks.

The Germans knew this and practiced it well.
Our own experience with modern man-portable tank-killers bears this out.

You can’t always count on the big tank v tank battle.

From what I understand the Abrams has been scheduled for de-activation over the next 10-20 years. It’s a big mistake.

Nah, on the more tanks -- we just need more of these...
