If you looked carefully you'd see they never left.

Not suggesting this tank for us, but a interesting look how tank manufactures are trying to address a changing battlefield.

Interesting that no where in the video does he actually say the MBTs name (KF-51 Panther II I believe).
Also, may be its just me, but when I look at how the front of turret is shaped I immediately think "bullet trap."

I think it is just titled "New Main Battle Tank" (NMBT) at this point.
I note that it hovers around the 70 ton range so not one of the new lighter slimmer models.

A bit more on that
Army looks at bringing back the war horse – in ways that should silence any naysayers
Using horses in a modern war may sound anachronistic, but the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment has been exploring the idea
Apparently horses are still used operationally in Chile and India on the borders.

About as much armour as an Iltis. But it goes more places and you can eat it.

Ukraine is arming war robots with grenade launchers to hit the Russians so its soldiers don't have to get too close
Mounting grenade launchers on robots allows Ukraine to bring firepower to Russia while keeping its own soldiers farther away.
www.businessinsider.com
"Defense firm Frontline Robotics makes the Buria autonomous remote weapon station, which allows soldiers to fire grenade launchers and other weapons remotely. Early last year, Ukrainian forces were hiding them in prepared locations to stop Russian advances.
"grenade launchers are useful because soldiers "don't need to see the enemy to hit him." A soldier in hiding is easier to hit with a grenade launcher than, say, a machine gun, which is a line-of-sight weapon."
....
"Now, it's being mounted on UGVs, creating small tanks that can advance toward Russian positions without exposing troops."
.....
"DevDroid's Fedoryshyn said robots armed with grenade launchers are most effective when paired with robots carrying machine guns and aerial drones that can spot targets and direct fire."
....
DevDroid's TW-40 ground robotic system has a range of 70 kilometers on paved roads and up to 50 kilometers off-road, making it effective in the kill zone. And the mounted grenade launcher has a reach of 1.5 kilometers.
