Tanks can only operate with hords of drones creating an overall picture.
Maybe a step in the right direction, but i think the Ukraine war shows tanks alone are overrated

It's not a new concept. The same weaknesses seen today have existed since their inception. Tanks alone, whether they are T-80's, Panzer Mark IV or even the lumbering armored beasts of the Great War, could not operate independently. Armor is a combined arms weapon that has always needed Infantry support to operate with any degree of effectiveness. Alone they are sitting ducks for everything from mines to a brave soul with a Molotov cocktail.
