Personally Gaza War has proved that even an RPG if we'll made and specially if we work on some new warhead which is far more destructive even an RPG can really take on a Tank plus we need something similar to USA javelin. Turkey and China are our way forward.
The Turkish military industrial complex is especially geared toward winning the assymetric warfare via robotic means. It's playing from both ends with the equal impunity and affinity. For example, to beat the close range AD against the attack choppers, it is fielding Javeline-type ATGMs with a 20km range. And, to beat the attack choppers they're building AD of all sorts....

Most of the rgp hits in Gaza are within a radius of 50-200 meters. Thats urban warefare for u. N IDF inspite of having the best of everything has fared miserably in urban warefare.

Now in a conventional battlefield if the enemy has can get with 2 hundred meters of ur tank then ur dead any ways. But as we can see in the Ukraine conflict most atgm hits happen at ranges of 1-3 km n even some as far as 5 km.
An rpg can't do that

RPG should also be worked upon. I said we need both. RPG plus an Anti Tank weapon like Javelin. For that Turkish Karok and China's HJ 12 are best options
