Dayum! Looks like the age of tanks is over just like the age of battleships is over.

Au contraire

A new gen of tanks with effective countermeasures, ciws and other self protection suites will now make their way to the venerable MBT everywhere.

CIWS is useless against FPV. Radar cannot track something flying that low and slow.

All that will be miniaturized, radars and gatling guns together.

It's no use considering the radar cannot track FPV. It's like shooting a bird with your eyes blindfolded.

Not yet... is what I'm saying.

Also more advanced jammers... some people think the tank is already obsolete... I'm a believer in the manned armor. Tanks are here to stay, willing to bet on it even.

The flat af plains of the Donbass is but one theatre of war. There are still plenty use cases for the steel beast.

The radar ain't gonna track an FPV. Have you seen a radar that can track a bird? Um no.

Manned tanks are relevant for a long time even if some disagree. It largely depends on war theater dynamics. A strategy worked in one theater may be redundant in another. Terrain is equally important. Too many factors involved.

Wire FPV can't be jammed. The transmission is through the wire, not radio.

Birds aren't made of metal, not much of a heat signature there, I imagine.

No electronics either, wtf are you going to jam in a anyway ?

Unless you can train them to kamikaze and fly with a munitions jacket heavy enough to damage a tank.
