Why does it look like they all just gathered in some dude's garage?

I keep expecting to spot a snap-on tools pinup calendar hung up on the wall in the background.

How difficult is it to include the digit "2" in the title? This is the latest and greatest of main battle tanks, after all, not some rusty POS from the 1960s.

โ€œWith the current threat of large-scale conflict, the tank is an indispensable tool,โ€

After watching events unfold in Ukraine, I'm not entirely sure that is true anymore.

The tank is still the king of infantry fire support, and it continues in this role in Ukraine.

It will be interesting to see if it holds up in a complete combined arms campaign that would involve the Netherlands

It seems to be barely hanging on with what limited weaponry that has been fielded in Ukraine so far

I think it will, The 2a8 has trophy APS which should give it very good defense.

Trophy is great for 360ยฐ side protection, but it's not very useful against a top down attack

there are videos of tanks that survive 5 and more FPV Drone hits with just a rusty metal cope cage.
