They’re death traps against modern anti-tank weapons.

Germany spent 26 billion marks on tanks by 1939 under Hitler.
Just sayin….

Tanks are worthless against drones.

General Rommel is also standing in the wings. Somebody better read his book.

They had slightly more than 300 Panzer III, and Panzer IV at the start of WW2 which could be called main battle tanks.

Will the prayer mats be carried on the inside or outside of the tank?

At conference everyone was asked to chip in.

German: Tanks.
NATO aide: You’re welcome.

Tanks are the Polish cavalry of today.

So last war.

Imagine how many drones one tank could buy? Tanks are obsolete. Troops are better off transported by motorcycles and ATVs.

Tanks are just objects.

They require warriors to operate them.

Why not take that money and put it in to a drone force?

How about trained crews? Did you think about that? Who would fight for a country that arrests its people for merely criticizing its politicians? And imports millions of people who hate the country and its people? Good luck, Germany.
