Dead I.

"Heavy tanks have become too expensive, complex, heavy, vulnerable, and logistically unsustainable on the modern battlefield. The latest American M-1 tank costs $20 million, weighs 70 tons, requires a fleet of trucks to supply fuel, and is unable to engage most threats. Heavy tanks are armed to fight other tanks and unable to engage aerial threats, yet remain common in modern armies " - - C. Meyer USMC.

Consider:

"The Tank is Dead"  dated Jun 27, 2020  

"My [G2mil] 2017 epic 'The Tank is Dead' is gaining more attention. As I wrote three years ago, Turkey is leading the way in producing cheap suicide drones that can destroy anything to include tanks. These made an appearance in recent conflicts where they destroyed armored vehicles in Syria and Libya. American Generals now recognize this revolutionary change."

Consider additionally the comments of the Soviet era defector Suvorov:

"One day, in Paris, I [Suvorov] bought a book, published in 1927, on the problems of a future war. The author was sober-minded and reasonable. His logic was sound,his analysis was shrewd and his arguments unassailable. After analyzing the way military equipment had developed in his lifetime, the author concluded by declaring that the proper place for the tank was in the museum, next to the dinosaur skeleton. His argument was simple and logical; anti-tank guns had  been developed to the point in which they would bring massive formations of tanks to a complete halt in any future war."

AS IT WAS IN 1927 SO IT IS IN 2017? THE TANK IS DEAD?
