Technology can change the conditions in the battlefield, and require constant efforts at intelligence gathering that must be considered during the reviews of doctrines, tactics and strategies.
Any neglect to such basic military consideration will be at our own peril - as had happened to the Israeli Armored Corp.

This one is no fantasy, and is available anytime.
On a more serious note, while the Main Battle Tank will not lose its position in any future tank warfare - its application as an urban warfare equipment has its limit as seen in the Israeli experience - (see the referenced sites in the previous posts).
The US Military has also reported on this development in their study paper - ‘Tank Warfare and Doctrine Part 6’ - which emphasized the need for a closer infantry-amour operations in the future battle field.
