Tanks are slow, predictable, hard to maintain and costly to transport. Modern drone and or shoulder fired rocket warfare has made tanks obsolete. A tank costs conservatively $500K. While a shoulder fired anti-tank rocket costs maybe $10K. $10K takes out $500K and the $10K is so much easier to maintain and transport it is just ridiculous. Yes the Soviet Union invested in TOO many tanks at the end of the "cold war.". Tanks look threatening on the MAP. But in reality, tanks defend only against small arms fire. In drone warfare an operator at Whiteman Air force base in Missouri can defeat a column of tanks, @ $500K a copy, in the Ukraine with a $10K for each drone fired missile or a shoulder fired missile as tactically required.
Tank warfare is an outdated and showy at best, MACHO extremely costly weapon on the modern battlefield today!!!
