You cannot build a tank which is not vulnerable against missiles, unless it has so much armour it cannot be used in rough terrain. The key for all military equipment in the wild is building it as light as possible.

Tanks in a street. Hide in a house, let them pass, move into the street and fire a missile at the rear. Not much chance for any tank, but then who lets tanks patrol villages without infantry?!


Wondering what the US M1 tank will be able to do, in the baltic. The gas turbine with its 500 degrees Celsius exhaust temperature will light it up at ten miles for any infrared equipment, and it has a terrible fuel consumption.
