I honestly think tanks will never outlive their use.
They said that aobut horses...

Now, a tank is not a sitting duck against Helicopters. It can shoot back...And I have never seen a Helie that can take a 120mm to the face and keep flying.Also, Like the guys said, you need airsupport. The send their attack helies, fine, you send your fighters and clear the sky. Lets have a look at the 1982 war in Lebanon. Both the Syrians and Israelis used attack helies( Israel- MD500 Defender, Cobra. Syria-Gazelle). But Israel ruled the sky and shot down the Syrian choppers. Also, a few were shot down with AT missiles shot from AFVs...
