Top attack atgms and low observable drones seem to be not currently defeatable by tanks. Only passive measures like smoke screen and efficient dispersion can be developed and installed on tanks with limited effectiveness. Smoke screen needs to cover 360 degrees and also on top of the tank for unlocking top attack missiles. It should also block both IR for blocking heat seekers and visible spectrum to block optical-laser guidance. Also chaff dispersion is necessary for hellfire agm types that have mmw radar seekers.
Also some specialised platforms are needed to detect incoming atgm launches then alert all vehicles to launch their smoke screens individually. The early warning vehicle needs to include both a radar dome and iir array 360 degree seeker. It is evident that tanks detection systems are not enough and air defense platforms, apcs, mlrs etc. cannot carry sensors required to detect atgms all at the same time. Some quad copter cheap drones need to be in air continiously scanning for laser pointers on the ground targeting the vehicles or nearby.
This also wont work against uav guided artillery strikes or mini drone attacks like switchblade having low ir/radar signature. Smaller glide bombs also would have very low radar-ir signature. Mam-L missile that TB-2 uses has small size and ir signature and only after the initial attack they can deploy passive measures to obscure themselves.
