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?

I don't think they will. Both serve a different role and will be part of modern combined arms warfare going forward. We can also see how Russia is able to successfully jam western drones right now, which shows limitations of relying solely on drones.

Some of the voices are implying that in our "modern" times it is sufficient to invest only in drones, what seems dumb, as you wrote
