Russian tank design, two man crews?

an experimental program has helped prove that two people can manage the entire combat complex. But the implementation of this development is possible only if high results are obtained in the following areas: automation, optocoupler sensor technology and display technology
In the 80's that was anything but trivial.
In 2015 it was doable.
In 2025 it's partially in service and waiting patiently for a new clean sheet tank design to incorporate these fully.

Today our available computational power more than suffices, and we can display data on large TV screens surrounding the crew like in a flight simulator.

We probably won't see an Abrams converted to have a 2 man crew. But we will most likely see its successor have 2-3 crewmen, but automotives may be a bit lagging ahead of a new hull design.
