    Is the tank becoming obsolete?

    BTW, you said you want heavy tanks to be replaced with light IFVs, so.... if an IED did this to a TANK, what will a HE round do to an IFV?

    Is the tank becoming obsolete?

    And are you saying that an internal explosion of 40 HE rounds, would not rip apart the tank, and just make one or 2 holes, and throw away the turret? Despite the fact that most tanks blow up with just 2 of these rounds?

    Is the tank becoming obsolete?

    You've got to be kidding. You can tell quite easily, since there's much lesser charring and damage than there should be if the ammo blew up.

    Is the tank becoming obsolete?

    I don't get your point. Are you suggesting that we leave tanks altogether, and tell soldiers to walk over IEDs or drive Humvees o'er them? Are you suggesting that this will be safer than a tank?

    Is the tank becoming obsolete?

    As seen from your posts on other forums, you have a phobia of indian stuff, but look at Damian's last post, USA is designing a new tank. Considering the abundant trust you have in foreigners, I guess you can fairly assume, the tank is not obsolete.

    Is the tank becoming obsolete?

    Tell that to the tankmen who destroyed Pakistani bunkers in Zojila in 1947. :P The tank has been, and will remain and integral part of conventional warfare, especially in the deserts of Rajasthan, where infantry are targets with bullseyes painted on their backs.

    Is the tank becoming obsolete?

    But infantry without tanks is vulnerable as well. It's all intertwined, one without the other is vulnerable.
