I think it just might be "beneficial" if a tank was also a mobile
SAM site wrt short/medium range anti air weapons. Although, I think
tanks are just big slow targets anyway...

I can see it now, a tank with anit-air weapons, akin to a tank/sam

Ukrainian Bradleys have gotten tank kills which should be impossible.
They carry a couple of missiles. If they see the tank first, they fire
their guns. Those cannot damage the tank interior. But they blast away
all the periscope and cameras so that the tank crew is left blind.
Then the Bradleys can aim their missiles that can pierce the tank
armor and kill the crew.

If the tank acts like a SAM site, it might be vulnerable to HARM wrt
fighter jets in the sky hunting for SAM sites. Unmanned drones on cap
loaded for bear wrt HARM missiles, just looking for SAM sites. If that
happens to be a tank, so be it. Then clever state of the art land mines
would also help destroy tanks.

I just thought of something for fun. lol. It's a crazy idea, but kind of
fun? Think of a cylinder packed with several (perhaps 10?) fully armed
drones (anti-tank bomblets, self destruct bombs, ect...) being planted
underground... A tank rolls by and triggers the device. Around a minute
later the top pops off, and the drones start flying out of the
underground cylinder targeted on that tank and/or any other local
threats. They are active and going to try to cause damage.

M131 MOPMS mine system from about 45 years ago.
 
 

 
Nice! But it does not deploy drones?

As it was originally designed in the late 70's, what do you think?
