Re: MBT's
There seem to be two schools of thought concerning main guns and ATGMs.
For the most part Russia seems to see ATGMs as "the major" anti-armor weapon, why they put them on everything, and even fire them from their tank main guns. The US on the other hand, while acknowledging that helo's can't carry 120mm guns or GAU-8's (the A-10's gun), seem to feel the gun on the Abrams is the primary anti-armor weapon.
Now this may well be a tech issue, for Russia it's easier to build missiles then mass produce M256 quality guns and ammunition.
