What Ukarine has shown is that armor without protection and support is basically useless The US military has heavily invested in protection and support to make sure that its armor doesn't get shredded as easily as Russia tanks

@maxmagnus777 The issue here is that Russia APS as well as made lofty claims about its tanks "During a reported test conducted by the Russian military in 1999 the T-90 was exposed to a variety of RPG, ATGM and APFSDS munitions. When equipped with Kontakt-5 ERA the T-90 could not be penetrated by any of the APFSDS or ATGM used during the trial" Yet Russia armor is getting smashed with ease

@angelmario7085 Again goes back to the lofty claims Russia claims that its EW can neutralize UAV, yet its not happening Russia claims that its upgraded Pansitr , Tor, and Tunguska can deal with UAV, again not happeniing Mobile gun systems like the Tunguska should be able to down UAV with its 30mm cannons but again not happening?

Not exactly Russia's problem in the Ukraine comes down to several factors but the biggest is them being cheap They have APS technology but it has yet to make an appearance The US military is heavily invested in drones and network centric warfare so that everyone has access to eyes in the sky as well as the ability to deploy their own eyes in the sky Lastly, virtually US vehicles have CROWS whereas very very few Russia vehicles have it Russia's problems are easily traced As for armor If the enemy has significant air power and precision munitions, then armor usefulness is in question If the enemy has significant precision munitions and the tanks little protection and support,again usefulness is in question

Tanks usefulness depends on various factors, the first being the combatants Again a country like the US, tanks are useless. The US sure kill way of killing tanks dates back to 1991 Tank Plinking where US forces were shredding Iraqi tanks by dropping 500lbs GBU-12s.That worked then and even now against the newer tanks like T-14, Armata, it still works. The US military has endless ways of dealing with armor The problem now is that ATGMs have gotten, lighter , longer range, better seekers and improved warhead Example. the GAZ Tigr with Kornet, Israeli Spike NLOS, Tomcar/Sandcar and the US made JTLV with ATGMs are all lightweight assets that can be easily deployed and able to deal with armor The Israeli Spike NLOS, Tomcar/Sandcar topping the scales with its lethality as the Spike NLOS can be launched from 16 miles away,. The Tomcar system is light enough to be carried by MV-22, CH-47 or CH-53 internally but most importantly, the NLOS can perform 90 degree drop on targets which allows to bypass tanks countermeasures The future of armor depends entirely on support from EW an SHORAD
