Although in future, lighter tanks will be built but still Mechanized Infantry Vehicles serve that purpose or don't they?. So, the concept of making Tank obsolete will actually serve as a major set-back in case of tough combat situations.

I think that MBT should not be rendered obsolete. Instead it should be further improved to meet latest challenges.

I prefer a MBT with Laser Gun on it.
