You are my new favorite war analyst.You know what will be funnier?
Placing infantry under a B52's bombing run and saying "well, Infantry is obsolete".
Well, yes, of course it is. Everything is obsolete when you carry an extra chromosome.
I'm just wondering what the future of drone development would look like.
Will we see drones dogfighting?
Will there be different class of drones like the case for fighter jets?
Bombers, CAS-specific, interceptors, drone-specific air superiority, multi-role etc?
We may have some new breakthrough in this class to merely reset the status quo back to it's original form.
As is the case for every weapon system ever.
This always happens. Something REALLY effective comes out, destroys the other side which doesn't have it, people start thinking it'll make the other systems obsolete, then the other side acquires the same stuff and there's a stalemate. Then countermeasures are developed. Guns, tanks, jets, submarines, nukes, drones. It's all the same story.
Finally, warfare ends up back where it started. A platoon on top of a hilltop trying to kill the platoon at the bottom of the hill before it seizes their post.
To quote the Fallout 4 narrator- War never changes.
And to quote GD Bakshi: “Manpower”.Yeah, if one were to go by the words of the morons that seem to be infesting the SM (and our very own DFI) these days, then tanks have been obsolete since the very first day they appeared on the battlefield more than 100 years ago!!
