As others have put it, it isn’t about a tank’s vulnerabilities but its capabilities. A vital distinction. Horses were made (mostly) superfluous by lorries because the latter proved more capable. Humans are excessively vulnerable. Anything will put us out of action. And we’re expensive to replace too. But because there’s nothing more capable than a human at certain things, so we’re still expected to face flying pieces of metal. So far nothing can project force and hold terrain on land quite like a tank does. Javelin teams in buggies can’t. Neither can a drone. But a fast and protected box with a fearsome boomstick on one end does. Especially when used by well trained personnel and employed in a sane manner.
