  1.  @FriedrichBarb  Sure, when the shaped charge was invented, all thought that is the end of tanks, but better protection was invented and tanks were back in the game.

  2.  @David-ns4ym  No tank can survive new anti-tank rounds... Why do you think the USA didn't send a few Abrams tanks? Leopard 2, celebrated, and those rounds are going like a hot knife in butter. And you think Russian tanks are so bad, but you selected exactly those, American, Israeli Korean... It makes no difference, now tanks, any tank can be destroyed at least to that degree that if the crew is lucky they will escape...some of them... Who knows when tanks will again appear, and those new, I bet that they will be such that there will be no human crew... Why should a tank have a human crew inside when all can be done from a distance? But Abrams can survive...sure... Let the USA send a dozen of their best Abrams tanks and soon there will be Abrams Square and the stocks of the company who makes those "wonder" tanks will go down... That is why they are sending those old F-16S, they knew those will do nothing, some will be destroyed on the ground, and most who will be so lucky to go to air...Russia has excellent SAM systems, S-400 will destroy any of those, or some advanced Russian jet. That regime in Ukraine, that is a boomerang that will hit the country that is using it, the USA over its head... Cluster bombs? So Russia will be able to use the same weaponry, a fair game... And who will suffer? Ukraine... I am sure the USA is ready to fight to the last Ukrainian, it is not like Americans are dying there, at least not too many just some instructors, and some mercs, and no one cares about those.

  3.  @David-ns4ym  Russia is not even trying to "conquer" Ukraine... Was the USA trying to conquer Serbia when they started that illegal war against that small country and made Kosovo a separate state just because Albanians wanted Kosovo to be separate? Russia will liberate Donbas, that big landbridge from Donabs to Crimea, and maybe Odeas which is a Russian city to connect Transnistria with Russia proper. Are you even aware how easy Russia is fighting with that proxy of the USA, almost the whole of NATO (Not my country though, we gave no weaponry to that regime of that beggar, not a single bullet), and a dozen other countries who are giving weaponry and money to that regime the USA put on power via that coup in 2014... And Rissia is using just a fragment of its military power, some 20 percent... If Russia wanted they can take the whole of Eastern Ukraine, and historically it is Russian, but no, they will do what the USA did, the USA made a precedent by making Kosovo, and Russia will use it. And the USA, can't do sh*t... They will watch and later will claim it was all part of their plan, Russia to take those parts because they can't change anything. I am glad that militaristic plutocracy is put to shame.

  4.  @-John-Doe-  Look what you wrote "The role of the tank-not to be indestructible" "The role of the tank - to provide immediate and irreplaceable firepower for extended periods of time." That is the same... And if I claimed that the tank should be indestructible (the thread is big, I can't go and search for some comment I wrote) that is my mistake, no, tasks are destructible, and they were always destructible, but not as easy and fast as today. "Drones, Mines, and Missiles aren’t the same tool as a tank." that sentence is a truism and we should not waste time on that. But imagine a tank, a very small tank that has no people inside, something like a drone tank that does the same thing that tank does, but people, soldiers are not in jeopardy... That is not the same as the tank with people in it, but as far as I can predict, probably that is the future.

  5.  @-John-Doe-  Yes, you understand what I had on mind, some type of unmanned tankette, or some really developed futuristic vehicle which can hide easily, change its color, be armored at the vital element really good, and armed with some kind of tank gun, missiles, SAM... who knows...But, my point, and obviously yours is that this war is proving that things are changing fast on the military stage, especially when forces that have bing knowledge and investment in weaponry collide, and a lot of interests are under question.

  6.  @Shizuka935  Your sentence is written in such a way that people who are reading it can't know, do you think tanks are obsolete or not? "The tank its obsolete"... that is wrong... It is obsolete or it is not obsolete? I can see that you think that tanks with good protection, shield, and gun are good, but we saw that even Leopard 2 can be destroyed and I bet Abrams too...all tanks can be destroyed so easily today that big tanks battles are a thing from the past.

  7. It is a game between the engineers who are inventing defensive capabilities of tanks and those who make missiles for the destruction of tanks. Now those who make anti-tank weaponry have the advantage, but scientists, and engineers are working, and soon we will see some new invention that will tip the scale and tanks will be relevant again... That is old game in the war and weapon industry, so no one can say that tanks are definitely obsolete.
