Logic,history and Grand Logistics tell us that,for a Main Battle Tank,other tanks "are rarely engaged as they make up only a very small percentage of battlefield targets,more common targets such as Kornet missile teams being best engaged by a large calibre rifled gun",but while combat in Ukraine yet again demonstrates that infantry is the primary target for an armoured vehicle,the British Army is sidegrading it's Challenger 2 tanks with a smoothbore gun optimised for engaging last generation Russian medium tanks.
