What does a tank do better than a technical in that situation? AFAIK they don't generally carry better-than-MANPAD AA, they're not heavily armoured enough to resist precision munitions, and they're vastly more expensive.


Which is why tanks don't operate independently. They need air support, plus mobile medium range air defense systems.


The same could be said of technicals - with air support they would be more effective.
