> Tanks are just not the future of urban warfare
The recent events shows what the tanks is the urban warfare machine. It is only thing what can suppress and/or eliminate singular units operating from the high-rise apartments.
- zardo 5y agoYou need a bigger gun than infantry carry, but (as the article discusses) that doesn't necessarily mean a tank.
- justsomehnguy 5y ago< 50 mm is just not enough. Anything bigger needs a proper armouring to have a chance to survive against AT weapons and nobody fields tank destroyers WWII-style anymore. So this leaves only one platform with armouring and big enough punch - tanks. Just look at videos in r/combatfootage, IFVs have a tough time there and constantly need to retreat and even tanks have a mines and AT thrown at them.
