Should Ireland fuck away our neutrality and join NATO?

It had shag all to do with BandonY’s post.

I was responding to Handy Run's ludicrous notion that tanks are obsolete and gave it the emoji it was due.

He has a point. Drones are quickly becoming the weapon of choice in so many conflicts.

FFS boppy, only an idiot would try to claim that Tanks are obsolete.

Tank warfare has necessarily had to change, which it has done since its inception over 100 years ago, to take into account the threats but tanks continue to be a primary battle resource. And it's silly to try claim otherwise imho.

Drones are the latest threat to which tanks are going to have to adapt, but it's not like it's the first threat they've encountered. Drones certainly give more bang per buck - and a 700Euro drone could, all going right, take out a 7 Million Euro tank but tanks are adapting to counter the threat and they still provide hard powerful fire point, mobility on the battlefield and protection.

A bit like Mark Twain, the stories of the tank's demise have been greatly exaggerated imho.
