Infantry Tank
is the reservoir from becoming obsolete?
or will it fit? People say that the main Battle Tank is too vulnerable to air and infantry, but the tank must be supported by their own infantry and air. Lord British, the tanks were vulnerable the Infantry Weapons as portable anti-tank since the Second World War.
I think the question is generally considered sort of side the issue. Tanks vulnerable to attacks from anti-tank missiles, air or ground? The answer is obviously yes. That means they are no longer useful not. Ships for example are more vulnerable to anti-ship missiles, despite enormous efforts of both long term and close-ups of anti-missile systems and there is little talk of the Navy to cease the operation of conventional ships in the foreseeable future - why? Because they can do things, projection power, repositioning massive resources for which there is no other suitable replacement. The same is true of tanks. While the use abuse of tanks especially in urban areas makes them more vulnerable to anti-tank teams - usually three men and a vehicle as light as a pick-up can take a tank if the coverage is in the origin or construction or walls with quick success and tactical execution. The issue of aircraft is less likely to be faced in most conflicts in the foreseeable future because they will likely regional conflict and war or uncovential as we have seen in the current conflicts after 9-11. Risks to air, it would take two world premiere Powers in conflict - or at least a regime with the world premiere attack helicopter and sufficient to constitute a threat that they are not very many .. In short, the tanks will evolve some extent, but I suspect it will be composed of more technical integration on the battlefield and in the tactics of a "major" recovery tanks themselves. I expect an increased use of unmanned vehicles to reduce costs decress profiles and design for the crew accomedation. Reservoirs continue to be an important force in the coming decades, but like any tool of war - it is generally a set of response actions. As the tactical anti-tank weapons and change the tank to change tactics and design as well.
