Description: Since the Russian Invasion of Ukraine (2022) a lot of statements about the "end of the tank" came up. Most of these statements are old, very old and they show up every few decades, particularly if a new technology is invented and/or some factions suffers - for whatever reason - a certain amount of tank losses. This video discusses the various factors about the Russian Invasion of Ukraine and a lot of the previous arguments that often have not changed for decades and generally still invalid, since people forget combined arms warfare.
