Some U.S. military officers, though, argue that drones are particularly deadly in this war because it has reached a stalemate with little battlefield movement. In a war of maneuver, the tank and other armor would come back into its own, they say.
That’s the neat part, you can’t maneuver, that’s why armor is virtually non-existent in engagements beyond being an artillery or slowly moving transport.
‘Hedgehog’ style defence for tanks and other armor actually works, and it takes a lot of effort to kill one of those, but they aren’t doing anything interesting and you can’t leave it alive unless there is total fire control on your side.
I mean if the US with it’s multi trillion dollar army that couldn’t beat rice farmers and goat herders or win anything really since WWii what’s to be expected? I think the only thing they exist for is to extract tax payer money for the arms manufacturers. If the US military were really capable and effective there would be no war in Ukraine or any country called Russia.
It never was a question can/can’t and always was is it economically and politically viable to continue $current_war. usa is certainly capable, there seems to be little will to actually fight in a war beyond showing off ‘we are still cool and powerful believe us’.
