Are tanks obsolete now? Seems like all they do is get blown up by anti-tank missiles.

you need a proper infantry unit around for a tank to not get constantly fucked up like that

This or air power something Russia hasn't been using
Logan Gonzalez
They’re modern day battering Rams. Necessary but nobody wants to be the ones who has to push it. And likely the first ones will all be destroyed

I wouldn't want to be in one.

Tanks were obsolete 40 years ago, but the MIC is always cranking out gear to fight the last war, not the next one. Speed, stealth, and precision weapons are the current meta. Tanks are none of the above.
Brandon Price
Yes
Ian Diaz
This.
They seem useful, on paper.
But in real life, they're basically useless.

What’s the fucking point
Noah Perez
Crappy ancient Russian tanks are useless. So are short Chinese tanks the Russians are also using.
Jaxson Murphy
Russia doesn't have air power.
Easton Fisher
Tanks are the SUV of the military world, every fucking asshole wanted one. Come to find out them basically do nothing. They are better options.
Justin Hill
There are*
Jonathan Ward
Russian tank doctrine is different than NATO
In NATO, tanks support infantry.
In RF, infantry support tanks
Jose Sanders
infantry unit carrying stingers too attack helicopters can fuck up infantry and armor without proper anti-air (shooting only planes down isn't enough)
unit comp isn't just a vidya meme
Brandon Scott
on twitter and reddit, they sure do. 99.9% of tanks sent into ukraine will never get blown up.
Gavin Morales
tanks had reliable active protection since the 00s. if anything theyre practically immune to antitank missiles.
Ian Watson
Everything sucks. People die to bullets. Planes die to sams. Helicopters to stingers. Everything is obsolete.
Easton Scott
yes
flying power armour troopers with anti-tank is the future

>Dies to both stingers and bullets
Not even released and obsolete.
Caleb White
In Russia tanks just spearhead 10 miles ahead of the infantry
Austin Foster
The current meta if you want to produce ISIS, Taliban and other assymetrical warfare situations that are indefinite yea.
Tanks are necessary if you want to clean up entire countries for good.

i do think jet trooper squads will be a thing in the future. on flat terrain like ukraine these are mostly useless in the open but when assaulting cities they can be extremely powerful.
get your jet soldiers on land on tall buildings with machine guns and you can pin down the entire neighbourhood.
yes its what i wrote
Austin Phillips
literally Toyotas with .50BMGs are probably more effective against infantry
Henry Smith
Yeah, that's what I said.
Tanks move up, establish positions. Infantry comes in for the clean up.
In USA, at least, it is the direct opposite theory.
Infantry pushes, establishes front lines, and then tanks support them.
