Very good presentation. The historical perspectives were quite useful, as well as your pointing out the shortfalls of the Russian crews (training and tactics). Well done!

Great job David! As you say, the demise of the tank has been predicted for the past 100 years. I'm always skeptical of this type of immediate assessment. My expectation is that the back-and-forth development between firepower and protection technology will continue. You rightly point out the deficiency in our intelligence of the Russian's poor logistics and the shocking lack of soldier battle-readiness. Thank you and well done!
