Good Question.
If there were full blown conflict between two modern armies we would quickly discover that most tank warfare would be suicidal. 150 tanks wouldn’t last a week against Russia because of the Kornet anti-tank missile. 50lbs of weapon that can hide in a hole by the road, a bedroom window, a barn, and takes out your 9 million dollar Abrams in few seconds for the cost of 12K. The flipside is true for the Russian tanks facing our Javelin or the French MILAN and other modern anti-tank weapons. The Iraqis even managed to take out a few Abrams in the first days of that war and they had no idea what they were doing and had only a handful of modern anti-tank weapons. Tanks are too easy to kill, too hard to maintain and too costly to replace. It will be great to have one near you for the time it lasts but they wont last long.
