Russian invasion of Ukraine

Hard to argue against this article.
Seldom ever thought I would read, let alone agree with anyhting in the Telegraph.

I’m not sure we have seen the death of the Tank.
The Telegraph article alludes to the tactical and doctrine errors made by Russia.
Their Army was equipped for a massed attack of hundreds of tanks, supported by thousands of infantry in Fighting vehicles supported by massed artillery. Employing it in small packets proved beyond their training and ability. They also failed to get air superiority.
The massed tank attacks should have been shot in with tube and MRLS strikes and supported by SU25 ground attack aircraft and Helicopters suppressing any defending infantry armed with NLAW etc.

(Obviously quite happy they didn’t)

yup, good article

EDIT: also it seems like Ukraine as most conflicts today is more of a guerilla war rather than main army vs main army in classic tank battles. This is how smaller armies and people with a will overcome larger conscript armies.

In a guerilla war the Main Battle Tank is useless as it's only real use is to go up against another MBT. It just becomes a sitting duck for more mobile operators including NLAW and drones.
