@dwr.eth @macbudkowski The primitives of all modern warfare are Fire + Movement Over the past 20 years, we've basically entered an era where the definition of "Fire" has gotten significantly broader and more dynamic It's no longer constrained to the elements immediately in the battlespace and there's every reason to think this will only accelerate with other new vertical attack vectors (tungsten rods from space anyone?) The big question rn is that no modern military has really figured out the Movement part for today. Tanks in US doctrine ofc aren't a standalone unit - they are part of a "combined arms battalion" with mounted + dismounted infantry as screening + support against most low-ish tech "tank killers". This includes dudes with shotguns shooting drones out of the air (yes this is real). Additionally, the top is usually the least armored part of the tank and as such tanks have always been weak in urban environments. Cheap drones have just extended that weakness into non-urban environments. 1/

I want to, but it's so much more niche/lower reach than all the other content stuff I could do with my time (and elsewhere on the internet war stuff immediately invites the worst kind of engagement lol) maybe in a few years i can do more on this kind of stuff tho! for now it'll be opportunistically
