| I think you're probably gonna find that the 'light' tank will probably become far more important as Western armies all develop rapid reaction forces. Future MBT designs will likely have to be air-portable as a main priority. I think there's still room for the 50-66 tonne behemoths on the battlefield but they will be supplanted with many more 20-25 tonne MBTs. So there might be a blurring of roles and functions, perhaps even a return to the tank definitions of WW2 of light, medium and heavy rather than MBTs? |
