first off I am no expert. Now that we are clear, in todays modern warfare you have a undetermined battlefeild of IEDs and land mines. No major force has the " smart weapons" that would worry me. While China is becoming a greater threat they do not have the weapons nor the real exerience to be a effective threat. They are more of a economic threat. When you look at the great tanks out there, I see great strides that have been made with the Leopard II, the M1A1 and many others in NATO. But all these are for the Big Battles done on great battle fields. In the battles of tomorrow I believe we will need smaller more manuveable tanks that have the fire power of todays MBT yet can be rapidly deployed in the tightest of quarters.
