The war in Ukraine: The end of armor as we know it

Since World War II, the heavy tank has been king on the battlefield, combining power, mobility with protection for its crew. The war in Ukraine however, has turned the notion of the powerful, heavily armored main battle tank as the spearhead of the assault, on its head. Cheap, simple drones are destroying large numbers of tanks on the battlefield, and they’re doing it with relatively small explosive warheads. Can tanks be redesigned with sufficient passive protection to withstand a future battlefield teeming with attack drones? In Ukraine, the answer is no, but the future will likely involve smaller, faster, automated tracked fighting vehicles, and probably drones tasked specifically with defending against other drones. In the future, quality appears to be winning over quantity. * * engineering.com TV: Watch in-depth engineering videos made for the engineering professional and found exclusively on engineering.com TV: Panel Expert Roundtables: https://www.engineering.com/category/...
