Tanks are old school. They’re impressive but there are enough weapons these days to make them rolling coffins.

Tank crews and air crews will be sitting out the wars of the 21st century. Modern warfare = infantry + artillery + missiles + drones.

Modern (or modernized tanks) have reactive armor and other defensive equipment. In addition, modern tactics have tanks and infantry closely together so that tanks do not get served up as targets open to attack by guided missiles from opposing infantry. Disregarding that was how Russia’s tanks got chewed to bits in their attempt to take Kiev.

It has very thin armor compared to a modern tank and are not survivable. 50 cal APR’s will pierce its hull.
