If they can use video and controllers like that to control the gun, what would stop them from making it wireless?
I would imagine the benefit of using something like that remotely would be worth the risk of possible signal interception.

I don't think there's much need for wireless inside the tank in any case. Maybe for a remote placement turret without a vehicle mount it would be more useful.
You would still use wired controllers, but you would use wireless networking to control the tank close by. As long as you maintain a connection with the tank, you are safe from enemy fire, and the enemy would be shooting at an empty tank, with no way of telling what your physical location is.
In addition such a system is highly prone to jamming considering the kind of parts they have available, and the location of the controlling transmitter can be quite easily triangulated.
Just wanted to point out that it's not so easy to make a wirelessly controlled tank and the benefits can be dubious.
