Statistical armor against modified PG and other PIBD warheads being seen on FPVs would actually help, however Russia’s seeming inability to make simple stat armor nets is really baffling. They seem to create everything except lightweight blocks of net armor.
These “porcupine” tanks that are showing up may have some success in stopping some of the FPV drones coming in with some types of munition, but at what cost? The tanks are now gigantic more visible blobs that are almost certainly more difficult to drive and fight with. Given that tank-on-tank (or tank on any other armor vehicle capable of killing the tank) fights are historically usually determined by who fires first, these porcupine setups seem to be a bad tradeoff.
Tanks now are just a portable armored artillery capable of moving on their own( built in engine) and surviving longer than regular artillery units simply because of the crew is protected from regular anti-infantry weapons. Other than that tanks are now relatively useless in direct combat.
We already have those. They’re called the Paladin M109 Howitzer. Tanks are strictly worse at being artillery than our artillery so they’re becoming very useless.
They’re just meat delivery systems.
Looks like a movie prop from Mad Max ngl
At what point do you say “Maybe we’ve gone too far, Sasha.”?
Now it’s not a tank, it’s a steel bush.
