Hello,
I agree with the arguments put forward as to why claims about the 'death of the tank' are, once again, unreasonable.
However, life is clearly getting harder for tanks:

In 1987 the Royal Netherlands Navy began studying an 8,000 ton LST for the 1993-97 construction programme which would have the capacity to carry 600 Marines.

Hello all.
I am not sure if this post really belongs here or not, but I just found the photo below and I find the theoretical implications fascinating. It sure looks like a Panzer II turret with a 37mm gun. Sure enough, it is. This turret was used on the Atlantik Wall as a static defensive...

Bäcklund created the model back when Poland had recently joined NATO in...
