      It’s definitely not the end of tanks. While they’re high value targets, we’re already rapidly developing technology to counter drones such as AI powered point defense weapons and microwave jammers.

      The death of tanks has been reported several times in the past.
      Bazooka style weapons, wire guided anti-tank missiles, tactical nuclear weapons, and now drones have all been forecast as the death star to the main battle tank (MBT).
      The only weapon system that can effectively advance and support troops in the advance is an MBT.
      Canada almost fell into this trap before being deployed the Afghanistan twenty years ago, and quickly discovered that, yes, we actually do need tanks.
      Hopefully any decision won’t be made by some bureaucrat watching YouTube.

      I don’t know if it needs to rethink it too much. A tank is still a tank, after all.

      But maybe some chicken wire or a cage around the top armour. Or even just a signal jammer on the command tank.

      I still rate my odds of surviving as higher when I’m surrounded by steel plate, ablative armour, .50 cals and a fucking *cannon,* than in a foxhole with a rifle.

      Who will invade Canada on the land? Russia or China? I think it’s the United States.

      IMHO the CAF should divest from tanks, they still have a place in the modern battlefield and when well utilized they can do a lot

      However the CAF doesn’t have enough heavy lift capacity to move them to the EU in a useful time frame and they wouldn’t be very useful in fight against the southern neighbour

      I think the CAF should focus on light weight quick response force, the US army and marines developed a ton of add-ons for the LAV from mortar to 120mm cannon and EW

      We should model the CAF in a similar / hybrid way to the USMC and French army a quick, lightweight mobile lethal force

      No heavy armor, no towed artillery, self propelled artillery, IFV’s and drone tech from our Ukrainian friends

      I honestly think Canada should go full on into Drones… we are highly educated, but with a relatively low population and it seems to me these would be a perfect for us.

      The death of the tank is greatly overexaggerated

      The Russo-Ukraine War has proven they’re more vulnerable, but has also proven they’re still critical

      We (Canada) need to develop powered armor, like in John Steakley’s book titled, appropriately enough, Armor.

      You can still bring the tanks to coffee meet up’s in the Timmy’s parking lot

      All Canadian schools should have drone classes. Teaches electronics, physics, math, aerodynamics, telemetry, communication, piloting. All transferable skills. Even Defence

      A drone does not make tanks obsolete you just need to develop countermeasures. When mines made tanks “obsolete” we made mine plows and flails. When the rocket launcher made tanks obsolete”obsolete” we invented composite armour active protection systems can already detect and destroy drones they just arent fielded on a mass scale yet

      My fat ass can join the military and fly attack drones from my sofa while eating a cheese sandwich.

      I’m sure we can buy some 40 year old British refurbished tanks that are already 30 years obsolete.
