Why are tanks still used in battlefield if they can easily be destroyed by drones?
In: Other
In land warfare, each division has their roles. For instance armor such as tanks are used to “take ground” and promote advancement into new ground. And ONLY infantry are able to hold/keep the ground from the advancement.
It is pretty clear that tanks are at a disadvantage now with the usage of drones. But as in any warfare it is a constant battle between defence and attack technology. Think of it as a pendulum that swings there is no middle ground. It will constantly swing between defence and attack. As soon as the technology for defence improves then attack will be at a disadvantage for a short time.
Eventually technology for tanks will be able to stop drones, then at that point the pendulum will start swinging back to attack in order to break that defence, with that being new drones/weapons/cyber etc.
Its important to know that, yes war is not a nice thing to have but… Only War promotes advancement in technology nothing else. A good example of that is the ww2 V-2 rocket, if that wasn’t developed it would have taken much longer to develop large stage rockets used as in Apollo 11.
