WRONG! Armor still matters for a whole host of reasons. What will give armor full relevance again are active defense systems. And those systems are already fielded, with more on the way.

@Taskandpurpose You are indeed an honest human being. No wonder you didn't become an officer. Seriously, love your content and your humor.

@DefaultProphet Sorry I have to disagree with the Chieftain, active defense systems will become as common place in the future, as reactive armor is today. And it will be absolutely intregal to an AFV's overall protection.

@amistrophy Thats a good way of putting it.

@DefaultProphet One more thing the kind of anti-drone systems that are only recently starting to deploy, could double as anti-ATGM systems as well, for taking out relatively slow flying missiles like the Javelin and NLAW at some distance away.

@DefaultProphet Nothing is 100% effective. However, I think most AFV crew going in harms way would be glad to have them.

@DefaultProphet I didn't say 'single handedly', only they would be key. I think if you make a bet that mobile firepower and protection are over, just based on recent combat operations in Ukraine, you will lose that wager. The pendulum swings back and forth over time, and at the moment the ATGM seems to have the ascendancy, but who knows about tomorrow.
