Tanks and armored vehicles seem to suffering in modern warfare. I have seen countless of videos of Russians destroying Ukrainian tanks and vice versa. I have even seen Hamas destroying an Israeli Merkava tank with an FPV drone. There just seem to be so many weapons aimed at destroying the tank. Alongside the FPV drones there are the classic land mines, anti-tank rockets, drone navigated artillery and finally aviation. Any attacking side seems to suffer heavy losses in armor during offensives.

The tank however is still very useful. It is a mobile firepower that is indispensable say in city fighting for taking out snipers. But in the city it is most vulnerable together with its crew. In the future, the infantry might go for smaller vehicles that would be remote controlled and would perform the same task as the tank.

It reminds of a historical precedent. In the fourteenth century, the armored knight was the king, until the latter ran against longbow men or firearms. And then it took another two centuries to phase the knights out. The same way the tank seems to be the staple of the twentieth century world wars, and in today’s world it is becoming obsolete or rather its use has to be modified from the previous wars.
