With the advent of drone technology I cannot see funding Tank construction! Takns at this point and time would only be good for control after battle. Air power is superior and unmanned at that! Actually all land based weapons and manpower are pointless with Nuke tech!
1 million soldiers die as well as 5 whit the right deployment.
Please deploy spell check in the future!!!
You seem to be in “internet” mode where all conflicts are solved by pushing the nuclear button.
Reality is over here, instead. Just saying...
Tanks still have their places on the battlefield. Lots of small arms fire is out there.
Plus, as more lasers like Israel’s Iron Dome are deployed, you’ll start to see anti-RPG lasers on tanks...which have the energy source on-board to run lasers and they don’t care about an extra 100 pounds for the lasers.
Eventually the lasers will have the range to take out aerial drones, too.
If you look around, you might even see a battlefield laser deployed on a Destroyer at sea.
...kinda lets ya know where things are headin’
It’s not so much drones that make it obsolete as it is that it won’t be long until they have unmanned tanks. The humans are surplusage, for the most part. You need a really heavy tank to protect soldiers, and that means it eats a lot of fuel. A remote vehicle needs less armor, less internal space, and could therefore be designed so as to save a lot of fuel.
