Sure, but anyone watching video from the Second Chechen War or Syria would know that things have changed a *lot*.

If you send out a tank without an Active Protection System in the modern battlespace against a near peer, that tank is dead. It will be killed by tandem warhead missiles or drones pretty damn fast.

Thanks.

I’m still getting used to the difference between a fifth generation fighter (aircraft) and whatever comes before them.

Calvin Coolidge said it best: “Why can’t the Army buy just one airplane and let the aviators take turns flying it?” (or words to that effect)
