US Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll emphasized that tanks are not obsolete despite speculation fueled by their destruction in Ukraine. He argues that their role in future conflicts will change, shifting from front-line leadership to supporting autonomous systems. Tanks will remain essential for providing firepower but will operate from defensible positions, allowing for a combined approach with unmanned vehicles and cyber capabilities. This evolution acknowledges the increasing threats from modern warfare while retaining the tank's historical combat value.
The tank isn't dead, but its role in battle must evolve. Changes in warfare necessitate a new approach to tank deployment and utilization.
While people predict the tank's demise, they're misunderstanding its future role. The tank will adapt to new threats but remain crucial in combat.
