  1. Tanks usefulness depends on various factors but mainly who is doing the fighting Against countries with significant air power and precision munitions, they are basically useless Against countries without significant air power and precision munitions, they still have some use The US for example has endless ways to shred armor, the most lethal method is tank plinking. Tank plinking coined in 91 was them dropping 500lbs GBU-12s on Iraqi armor That is still very much surefire way of killing armor. The GBU-53 and Spike NLOS are the latest additions to the US arsenal for killing armor Like the GBU-12 both weapons can easily kill armor Ukraine lacks significant air power but does have a number of precision munitions that are making things difficult for Russian forces Tactically , Ukrainian forces are winning but strategically, they are still losing. They haven't completely shut down Russia's armor down yet They have been able to chip away as Russia's supply lines to cause problems but they lack the capability to decimate it If the UK provides Harpoons with land attack capability and the Ukraine forces employ combined arms with their use They can completely shut down Russia's armor. Unlike the MAM and Javelin, the Harpoon's 488lbs warhead is literally like dropping a 500lbs GBU-12 which allows it to destroy far more targets per missile. Used correctly, they can start wiping out Russia bases with 8 to 10 Harpoon missiles per base
