Shit Paul, We (USA) have warehouses full of funded mistakes.

Its not that its not ready, its a very good tank, arguably one of the best...

For yesterdays battlefield.

My understanding is that all orders were indefinitely "paused".

Mainly because its primary task, of going toe to toe with leopards, abrahms etc... Is done better and cheaper by a drone with a mine taped to it

So,in essence, the "day of the tank" are over?

And any other large, expensive pieces of machinery.

Aircraft carriers? Jets? Also becoming pointless.

With preplanned routes, air gapped, shielded drones, that cost less than $1,000 can be used to sink virtually any ship.

Remote controlled machines are becoming a favorite of Mossad. Troops also going to be irrelevant.

The real battlefield is the Internet and AI has already put itself in a position to strike first at everything.

The question ultimately boils down to what a network of AI brains will decide is moral, fair or if morality and fairness won't play any role, at all, and we grow straight to Morlock and Eloi.

Yes and no...

The days of the expensive fancy tank are over (for the time being anyway)
