Dude with a 2000 dollar thermal sight is gonna clap the guy with a javelin. Also any tank made by a competent nation (i.e.: not russia) will have thermal sights on their tank specifically to find some fuckboi on the bushes with a vibecheck tube.
Not to mention the myriad of other anti AT weapon tech like all the warning systems, IR smoke, and trophy systems. Now the Abrams X is real heckin fright
If you have a handful of tanks, your enemy has to spend a lot of effort on getting rocket launchers. Not just buying them, but also the logistics strain to get them to the frontline.
And if you notice the enemy forgot to bring their launchers, you can deploy your tanks, and exploit their mistake.
Mass tank assaults are over. But using them as an integrated part of a force still makes sense to me.
Friendly reminder that Marvin Heemeyer was a damn lunatic, in case there's any killdozer enthusiasts here. If he didn't kill anyone other than himself, it wasn't for lack of trying. He had every reason to believe there were fucking children in that library, and he wanted them dead. Fuck Marvin Heemeyer, may be rot in hell forever.
Randall Moore (xkcd author) wants to remind everyone turning the missiles around for maneuvering to remove the warheads. Can't link the xkcd because it's in a physical book.
A guy in a safer bush with a $1k drone has a 70% chance of hitting the guy with the RPG.
A guy in a Ghillie suit with a 100$ knife has a 70% chance of stabbing the guy with the drone.
Something something... 70%... bacon cheeseburger... heart disease.
And the cheeseburger was only $5!
they were too well camouflaged so the tank crew couldn't see them and backed over them reversing out of the drive
It's turtles all the way down

Just run over the fucker if he's only 200m away.
Tanks are obsolete. Embrace killdozer.
It didn’t turn out well last time.

CIWS for every tank. Do it.
10 dudes in a bush vs 10 dudes in a bush.
Time to start a bush selling business. They gonna be in high demand.
"Welcome to the Raytheon farm!"
Or an agent orange business.
We can fit more in one bush... Get the Clowns.
Russia will pivot on it at some point. Closer they come to running out, the more they'll look for an excuse around not fielding them.
Isn't urban combat the environment where tanks are the most poorly suited?
I've heard that submarines win vs tanks in all engagements at 120 meter below sea
Submarines would also outperform tanks in space.
