Why does NATO Still Believe in Heavy Tanks?

Heavy tanks are often written off as outdated in the age of drones, precision missiles, and transparent battlefields. Yet NATO continues to invest heavily in main battle tanks and armored formations.

In this video, Matsimus breaks down why NATO still believes in heavy tanks, how they fit into modern combined arms warfare, and what recent conflicts like Ukraine have actually taught militaries about armor, survivability, and battlefield reality.

This is not a nostalgia piece and it is not tank fan culture. It is a grounded explanation of how modern wars are fought, why protected mobility still matters, and why no other platform has replaced heavy armor when it comes to seizing and holding ground under fire.

Topics covered include:

Why tanks remain NATO’s primary breakthrough tool
Survivability versus invincibility in modern warfare
The role of tanks inside combined arms doctrine
Psychological and deterrent effects of heavy armor
Lessons NATO has taken from recent conflicts
Why drones and light forces cannot replace tanks

If you are interested in modern military equipment, real world doctrine, and how NATO actually thinks about warfare, make sure you are subscribed.
