    I should’ve probably clarified that MBTs as we currently know them are being phased out for lighter armored tanks with capabilities from the designs of missile vehicles or personnel carries. But specifically the USMC are getting rid of their MBTs entirely to develop lightly armored rocket launchers like the HIMARS.

    Also the US Army are still holding on to the Abrams, but they are also open about how future development is based on the principal that current MBTs have hit their weight limit. So in the next decade or so we’ll probably see Abrams variants with less armor but heavily incorporating some design of missile and rocket carriers.

    (There’s also drones/unmanned vehicles, but I doubt we’ll see any concrete media about that for a while)
