I wanna kill myself. We are now very advanced position in defence industry. We have billion numbered land vehicle prototype but still no any concept who use 20-30 mm cannon with coaxial 2x atgm launcher.

On the other hand there is any news about start of production of leotay's ?

Tanks are prey unless you have achieved air supremacy. Tanks are hunters if you have achieved air supremacy.

Mbts, light and medium already fill roles.

Heavy tanks died out because they were heavy, expensive, unreliable, not fast enough.

Not to mention with atgms, rpgs, heat seekers has all but killed off heavy tanks. I forgot airpower too.

Heavy tanks were born mainly to project power and prestige in ww2 and the cold war.

Still it would be crazy with todays tech to see heavy tanks return.
In ww1 and ww2 the mentality was simple big meant better until people realised you can achieve more under a minimum packaged size weapon rather than building something big.

Our drones are by far the best hunters when we have air superiority as they can target very large range of targets from small infantry formations to AA to fortifications, anywhere.

I really dont see a very good use case for heavy MBT in the 60ton range.
Medium tanks and heavy IFV is OK for infantry support duties and check points.

I think they dont need. But only reasonable explanition i have that. They try to show it deliberately because of one reason which i dont know. At this kind of military vehicIe expect to see at least a protection cover on it.
Loudspeakers are placed to give warnings to the crew. It is tied to the laser warning system. When a laser beam paints the armored vehicle it immediately warns the crew. The driver either executes an evasive maneuver (oftentimes hides behind a hill, dirt cover, or building) or the crew jumps out of the vehicle. Speaker has to give a loud warning in battle conditions because the crew might be out of the vehicle it needs to be heard from a distance.
