I suppose there is a role for tanks still but how they did in the Iraqi campaigns seems to show they are very vulnerable to smart munitions from above.

There are several landscapes where the T-14 would not be much of a big deal. In a forest environment, like western Russia or in Europe? I think it’d have an advantage. If you put in some mobile AD systems within the T-14 mix...keeping helicopters and fighters at a fair distance...the only thing left to worry about is the Predator systems.

I would be curious to see if the T-14 is made for sales value, or for Russian offense/defense.

That is how the Javelin works, but the article speculates that it is no longer enough. Don’t know if the article is true though. Laymen journalists often end up believing Russian groundless bragging.

Known to those in the tanker business as a bad day at the office...
