Countries are still arming themselves for another WWII. It’s not going to happen, except maybe in smaller proxy wars. Even then, as this article says, newer weapons will make tanks obsolete. If there is a major war between nuclear powers, then all bets are off.

How come one side isn’t putting out air superiority drones to take out the other side’s tank-killer suicide drones? For that matter, why is either side using tanks instead of surface-mobile artillery drones?

How about drone tanks shooting down drone aircraft and/or frying their electronics?

The tank will become an armored, mobile power generator.

The US built a nuclear powered tank decades ago.

Drones are great, but how long can they loiter?

You can spoof all you want and go really fast, but there is no cover in the air.
