In current war in Ukraine, heavy on tanks and APCs Russian army was able to attack much larger UA force, which was also had lots of tanks and APCs thanks to air superiority and artillery superiority. Tanks multiplied Russian forces combat ability. Hordes of NLAW armed light infantry were unable to stop small tank force. Tanks + artillery + airpower have proven in the war to be a decisive trump card. This is why tanks are now selling so well all over the world. Everyone wants more tanks.

@f-5e126 Hitting auto loader is very rare. Almost impossible. What happens is tank is set on fire, crew leaves, and an hour or so later the fire causes ammo to cook off. In some cases ammo is stored outside of auto loader - and that can be hit.

@f-5e126 I am unsure what do you mean performing poorly. Its upgraded version (T-72 chassis + T-80 turret aka T-90) is by far the best selling tank in the world right now.

@f-5e126 I think British should either make a new tank or buy latest Leopards. Challenger was a disaster. Trying to fix broken design is just throwing good money after bad. I guess they are too cheap in MOD to buy new tanks and thus British are stuck with that junk. Certainly upgrading it will make it join 21st century but the bones that tank has are of poor design quality. I certainly would rate more modern T-72s as far and wide better tanks then current Challengers. Challenger tank is a meme - together with its cousin Arjun from India. All tanks have issues - however, except for Arjun and Challenger these can be gotten over in single video. For Arjun + Challenger a whole series is need ;) For Arjun they got right Indian flag, for Challenger is the hot water dispenser. All else... part of the video.

Conclusions are simple. Everyone is going heavy. Tanks. Tanks and more tanks. More APCs. Much more APCs. Artillery. Much more artillery. More and more Artillery. Drones, yes, but TB2 has proven ineffective in Ukraine due to heavy anti air presence. Essentially you cannot have that 40k weapon can easily destroy 4m or 40m weapon. Ukraine has clearly proven that. The renaissance of the tank is now - as proven by Ukraine. Poland is buying 250 new tanks in response to the war. Be heavy or be out!
