I would choose engine at the front because of increased protection from frontal attacks. It also allows for safer evacuation of the crew from the back.
Counter to the Sovyet doctrine for example the Israeli doctrine prioritizes safety of the crew more for known reasons. I think in the future...
The Gaza nobody talks about:
For over a week now the RuAF are conducting indiscriminate bombing of targets in Idlib. I don't want to post graphic footage but it is confirmed that many civilians lost their lives.

For me the new generation tank looks as the following:
Light weight
Engine on front design
Low silhouette design
Next generation IR reduction solution (example- BAE Adaptiv)
Potent 360 degrees coverage APS system
RCWS integrated EW solution
Next generation situational awareness system...

Very good decision! Judging by the recent conventional conflicts it is understood that anti-tank weapons systems are one of the most intensely used systems which is also maybe more than 80% effective in what the system's objective is. One ATGM fire means over 80% chance of a destroyed tank or...
