Quick puzzle - let's say this nano-machine laden paint is developed, is economical, and can change camaflouge automatically - or, even a step better, render the tank effectively invisible. Now let's say this tank is invading Iraq (or any other country) - don't you think it would kick up a fair amount of dust driving cross country? So we'd have these invisible tanks kicking up huge clouds of dust or plumes of mud or....don't think it would take a genius to figure out where the tank is, even if you can't see it:)
