Some say that tanks are obsolete in modern battlefield. One example is a recent total destruction of Leopard tanks in Ukraine by Russian Lancet drones. On the other hand, it may be just because Leopards were not prepared for such a kind of weapon, and tank designs will adapt for the use of drones. I hope tanks will survive of course :) What do you think?

    Planes didn’t make tanks obsolete, I don’t think drones will. They serve a fundamentally different role. A tank can’t do much against a drone, but infantry can’t do much against a tank, but foot soldiers are still fielded by every army in the world. Hell, some even still have cavalry divisions, with horses and everything. The only thing that could make tanks fully obsolete is something that does every single job they do, but better.
