The first tanks looked like this.
Wtf am I looking at?
what modern tanks look like in order to survive drones
Yeah but on the plus side ya don't gotta worry about pigeons nesting and shitting all over it!
I wouldn't call 50 year old tanks "modern".
I'm really impressed you can tell what kind of tank it is under the plating.
Hellraiser, off-road edition.
I'm curious how much this actually helps.
I guess the branches would get into the rotors of drones, so you can't control them anymore.
Hairy ballsack
You may not like it, but this is what peak ordinance delivery looks like.
viruses would agree
Reminds me of a Maddox post:
Ding Ding! Here comes the shit-mobile. I've never seen a fire truck that needed to be shaved. I would rather be burned to death than be saved by this hairy piece of shit.
Honestly that's scary as hell.
Both ways: when it charges you or thinking there is technology that creates a need to develop this defense.
And that technology is really easy to turn against the little people.
Tanks are 'easy to spot' as something dangerous - need a lot of resource and man power - drones are too freaking cheap...
tanks are kinda obsolete , explosives are too op
They still get used, just in a very different role than before drones were a thing. And the days of big tank formations rolling through are very much over. Nowadays they mostly do mine clearing, artillery support, and mobile command centres.
