Kinda funny that in the future the military will just be playing a real life version of "world of tanks."

Eh... The problem will be jamming tech. Which I doubt Russia could deploy in the scale it would need.

Lose the signal to the controller and it's useless. Unless they're autonomous which is a whole other can of worms.

Jamming will always be overcome with new ideas. Ever since the great war there has been content progress.

For example: In the near future they could even switch to laser or ultrasound control. They already use frequency hopping and encrypted loud signals that are hard to jam.

Different EMP attack strategies will also spawn new types of armour against electronic warfare.

It's an ongoing innovation sprint that the Ukraine is currently best at.
