The cavalry evolved its roles as infantry became more and more deadly. Finally the cavalry gave up the flesh&bone horse and human rider with a fully armoured "car" and engine and driver.
Now that infantry has handheld anti tank guns, the "tank cavalry" will simply attack infantry units from the side or bypass them altogether- w/c brings us to the essence of a tank: which is not its big gun or thick armor but rather it travels faster than a person can walk.
A hundred tanks at just 40 kms per hour will cover 400 kms in just 10 hours

“150 Maus were built” simply not true. My boy Mark Felton Productions has a great video on the Maus that I highly recommended. Only 2 prototype hulls were made “operational” with the turret being tested and built separately before work was abandoned. The 2 “operational” Mauses (or mice rather? ) we’re both destroyed by the Germans as the soviets advanced.

Oh my lord. That's what the video says. What's wrong with you boy, it says there are two, both destroyed. One put back together and the Russians have it. Come on dude

[@conceptalfa]

Video clearly says "150 of the so called Maus were built"!!!

Where on Earth did that guy from Bovington get the idea Canada got rid of all it's tanks???? We have never disbanded our Armoured units and have been using Leopards since the days of the Leo 1.

[@decaf.always]

In modern combat thousands of tanks are needed. Canadas 80 tanks wouldn't be enough FOR ONE DAY OF HEAVY COMBAT. Ukraine has more soldiers in Aavdika, A SUBURB, than Canada has total soldiers.
So yes, realistically speaking Canada doesn't have any tanks..

@@decaf.always The difference between a wartime army (Ukraina) and a peacetime one.

Tanks have become obsulete due to man portable anti-tank missiles like Javelin.

[@JamesRowell-fj7uq]

As a tanker who's been in war's and still keep up with tanks they have a new camo that messes with them it almost makes it invisible to them and ir check into it. It was on the military ⚔ TV channel on u tube
