Anyone who has had 5 minutes of Armor training and doctrine would
know that main battle tanks are extremely vulnerable without infantry
to protect them.  A large rock in front of a bogy wheel will throw a
track and you have fixed the tank in place.  The rapid advance of the
line of battle during Desert Storm probably did more to set back
Armor doctrine than anything since WW2.  In open country that can
support the weight, armor is blinding in its speed and killing
ability.  When restricted to roads because of terrain or cities,
tanks are extremely vulnerable to individuals with very crude
devices.  You don't even need explosives.
