    Because tanks can do things drones can’t.

    This exact same question was asked when people made big antitank rifles, and again when fighters started bombing tanks. Then again with basic AT missiles, and again with things like Javelin.

    And tanks can do things all those weapon systems can’t, so there’s still a place for tanks.

      I mean, tanks and IFVs with infantry take and hold ground.

      Drones are use to harass units, saturate AD and basically deny ground taking advances.

      These are different tactical issues with their own importance.
