Given tanks have not been deployed since Vietnam is the tank a ’nice to have’ capability or a ‘necessity’?. Why does the firepower that a tank provides have to be delivered by a tank?. From the article I derived the following key questions/implications: In doing so, he critiqued a publication I co-authored four years ago on this subject. In the June edition of this magazine, Ewen Levick asked – why do we need tanks? He also commented on the tank’s utility at the tactical, operational and strategic levels of war. This suggests the tank capability, and more generally armour, remains poorly understood. These range from ill-informed polemics to more balanced critiques of the utility of the tank.Ĭommon themes throughout are factual errors concerning the tank itself, and superficial speculation on its future employment and survivability. 
In recent weeks there has been a series of articles and posts regarding the Australian Army’s M1 Abrams tank capability.
