If you want to conduct more aggressive combat operations, you can only do so safely with a modern MBT, such as an Abrams or a Leopard 2, supported by armored infantry in Marder- or Bradley-class vehicles. 3/

Anything with less armor—including all russian/Soviet-produced infantry fighting vehicles (BMP-1, BMP-2, and BMP-3) and all APCs (armored personnel carriers)—is no longer battle-worthy. 4/
The tank has become more important than ever. It has even taken over some roles that were previously carried out by lighter vehicles (medevac, troop transport, etc.). The more armor you have, the better."
Tanks and heavy IFVs have not aged. Both sides actively use armor (if they have it). The recorded decrease in the number of destroyed Russian tanks (and other armor) is explained not so much by changed tactics as by depletion of reserves. 6/
I completely agree that drone capabilities must be developed faster (and the experience of the UKR should be taken into account more quickly), but not INSTEAD of armor, but TOGETHER WITH armor. 8/8
