Re: MBT's
All I'll say is we somehow manage to afford aircraft and ships ... most of which cost far more then a tank. Maybe we'll have smaller tank formations in the future (the US has already reduced a platoon from 5 tanks to 4). Not every tank needs to be top-of-the line, for instance the Russians use the BMP-3 with a 100mm main gun and the US the Stryker M1128 with a 105mm main gun for infantry support.
