I'm sure the soldier riding in the tanks WISH they were indestructible. No tank is completely invulnerable to armor piercing rounds, artillery, mortars, bombs, missiles, mines, and other anti-tank weapons, although some are more resistant than others.
The ongoing competition between armor and armor-piercing weapons has been going on ever since the invention of armor. The first anti-tank weapons were developed during WW I - which is when tanks were first deployed in battle.
Small cannons and large-caliber rifles were used against the early WW I tanks deployed by the British. Although a lot of thes supposed anti-tank weapons were nearly useless, they gradually got better as better armor-piercing rounds were developed. Grenades were also used. Since tanks can get stuck and be unable to move, they can also be quite vulnerable to artillery and mortars; once they get stuck they become a fixed target and are much easier to drop a shell on with some accuracy. In the area of anti-tank warfare, there are three kinds of "kills": "mobility kill", firepower kill" and "catastrophic kill". A mobility kill (M-kill) is when a tank is rendered immobile; if it can't move, it can't go where it is needed and isn't nearly as useful. Its weapons may still work, but it is more like fixed artillery rather than mobile firepower. A firepower kill (F-kill) means some loss of the vehicle's ability to fire its weapons. M-kills and F-kills may be complete or partial. A partial M-kill means the tank can't move as well, a partial F-kill means some of the tank's weapons can't fire or they can't fire as fast or as accurately. A catastrophic kill (K-kill) removes the tank's ability to fight completely. If the tank can't move or fire its weapons or if the crew is disabled and unable to operate the tank and its weapons, it is a K-kill. Most of the newer tanks are more resistant to M-kills, F-kills, and K-kills, but they are not indestructible. The more heavily armored tanks tend to be more resistant than the lighter armored tanks, but that is not an absolute rule.
