    Given the number of Russian tanks and armored personnel carriers that have been destroyed, it makes one wonder if the age of the tank is nearing its end after a century. They are very expensive and appear to be so vulnerable to hand held missiles that they may no longer be cost-effective. Perhaps armies would be better off with just a lot of APCs and more infantry. It will be certain that every army in the world will be analyzing what is happening in Ukraine

        The best way now to take down a country is to flood it with immigrants who will vote for the very ones trying to destroy the country. Flood the country with liberals who take over the news media, movie, public schools, and TV sites, spread their propaganda, invent fraudulent voting and persuade brainwashed people to join them.

          The tank is the most heavily armed and armored vehicle on the battlefield. APCs, by contrast, are lightly armed and armored -- and carry more people than a tank. If tanks cannot survive, substituting APCs would result in a LOT more casualties.

              That question was already answered long ago. A couple bombs and a cell phone can neutralize any tank.

              It's not a mystery why the Marines dropped their armor mission...let the Army have it.
