    “…armored vehicles look obsolete.”

    The same old song sung after exactly every bigger military confrontation since their invention.

    And guess what… more than a century later nothing actually changed. Tanks and armored vehicles perform a function. One that drones cannot replicate. And so tanks and and armored vehicles will (again) adapt to fullfil their function under changed conditions.

      You are both right. Armored vehicles still serve a function, but I think it is fair to say that that function has diminished or at least changed significantly.
