  That is an interesting report Howard.
  
  We do need to question the role of tanks on a modern battlefield. In the past we have suffered through fighting a new war the old way. Nothing new or confined to Britain, the USA's failure to adopt repeating rifles contributed to the loss of the 7th Cavalry.
  
  I am not suggesting tanks are obsolete yet when it comes to taking over and holding ground but attack helicopters such as the Apache have devalued the tank turning them into mere targets. It may be better to have lighter more mobile armour with helicopters taking over the heavy firepower role once occupied by the tank. For once we may be ahead of the curve in reducing reliance on large numbers of heavy tanks.
