They say that it is very difficult to burn the analogue T-90.

Our unit already has 6 T-90 "Breakthrough"

All 6 stopped while moving, 2 of them with instant detonation, 2 burned during repeated damage and 2 failed to ignite.

In this case, our kamikaze drone hit the engine compartment - stopping the tank. Someone from the adjacent units damaged the upper part of the tower - damaging the guidance optics.

Then several friendly units tried to ignite the tank, but failed. We got tired of watching this and one of our pilots decided to show a master class by hitting clearly between the turret and the hull.

Enjoy watching friends. Thanks for support!

It seemed the entire manned tank thing is past it TBH.

I can envisage other ideas I won’t go into here. But that form has reached its evolutionary dead end.

There's still a need for armored support, a self propelled pillbox and an all terrain armored supercomputer with a big gun and extreme network connectivity, but the war of russian aggression sure is driving home how much modern MBT do not mesure up to whats needed in those roles.

Hell even the most current NATO tanks are just getting devoured in this shit.

Where does the ‘super computer’ come into it?

Fire control systems are already pretty impressive. Not so much what currently gets run in ex: an abrams, but field C&C systems have gotten insanely powerful. Admittedly most of that power comes from being an ASIC, so youre not going to do much besides coordinate telemetry and push firing solutions (and play doom), but still there is an absolute fuckload of data getting dredged through those systems and every flop counts.

As the networked battlefield continues to be the ringer everyone knew it would be, the demand for frontline computational power is just going to increase. Especially with jamming tech becoming so critical to both sides in this conflict, the idea of a local controller gets more and more attractive. Tanks already have absurdly excessive power plants, decent sneakiness (relatively dont @ me, it's not a Bradley is all I mean) and can fight their way out of trouble on their own. They make a pretty attractive platform to base a heavy drone mothership off of.

TBH I only understand about half of what you are saying.
