Now looking at these machines, I wonder; a shell trap is any tanks worst enemy and they all look to have far more of those than old round ones did.
Now I know nothing of current tank warfare physics and how they are designed to defeat the exotic munitions used. (though I still wonder if they can stop an extreme velocity simple solid round , well enough.
Most of these can/could stop an opposing tank of similar exotic build by taking out a tread, which turns them into simple artillery, till they get fixed.
I would hate to be the grunts that then have to bring up and try to keep them supplied with ammunition so as to be not over run.
Now these sites are opinions but still interesting reading, especially the last on on Africa.

I feel bad for the armor guys, essentially
riding around in a mobile crematorium.

A few of them look like they have a low turret profile. And slanted armour for shell deflection.
I saw a German Leopard once at Ft Bliss Tx there for training. That was one big noisy Tank.

Yeah, but there's never a shortage of
fanatics that would die to pop an
armored vehicle with a rocket and
there'd be red hot razor blades bouncing
around inside for 5 minutes
