Tanks have evolved significantly since their introduction in World War I. Initially, they were slow, heavily armored vehicles with limited firepower, primarily designed for infantry support. Over the years, advancements in technology led to improvements in speed, mobility, and firepower, with the incorporation of more effective armor materials and weapon systems. Modern tanks now feature sophisticated targeting systems, enhanced mobility, and greater versatility, allowing them to engage in complex combat scenarios on diverse terrains.
Why are tanks obsolete?
Tanks as we currently know them are obsolete; for the same reasons that battleships are. 1. Too heavy, non-air transportable. 2. They need infantrymen to protect them. 3. They are designed to engage other tanks; wars today require mobility (light weight), fast deployment (air transportable), and combined arms (infantry carrying tanks: landing in a hostile environment ready for battle); instead of waiting on the flight line for infantrymen and tanks to "get together"...they should already BE TOGETHER! Be combined! So, tanks are not obsolete; only the tanks of today. They need to "evolve" into tanks to fight 21st century battles.
