Damaged and taken out of service, but never actually destroyed per se.

So it doesn't really matter.

Pretty much.

Eurofighter Typhoons are objectively shit when compared to things such as the Su-47.
Prove me wrong.

The Challenger II tanks currently in service for the UK has ERA, which makes missiles detonate before impact?

Most modern tanks has that.

Yes.

Radar guided.
And sometimes laser guided, take the Shtora APS for example.

Not every vehicle has such defence systems.
And every T-90 can fire guided missiles.

Well, guided missiles.
Not unguided ones.

Yeah, true. And a smoothbore is better at firing things like HEAT and APFSDS rounds, as they'll have a higher velocity. Then again, smoothbore guns aren't as good when using HESH (High explosive squash head), and HEAT isn't as good as handling other tanks as it once was.

To quote some retard on Quora: "Basically, the major advantage of rifled guns is the use of HESH rounds, and the major practical advantage of smoothbore guns is that they have a long life, and for Eastern tanks, that they can fire missiles."

And everyone knows that missiles > shells.

Missiles can be jammed.
A HESH shell can't.

Then again, you can't fire HESH from behind cover.

T-90 has a smoothbore gun, unlike the Chieftain's/Challenger's rifled gun.
T-90's gun is less powerful, and less accurate than the Chieftain's/Challenger's gun, but the T-90 has more advanced technology.

They're about equal.

Also, having a rifled gun means that the tank can't use guided anti-tank missiles.

T-14 Armata shits all over modern tanks.

Yes. It does.
