The article is about fundamental changes in warfare from WWII through today, which comes down to the tank as the main weapon of blitzkreig Blitzkrieg-like, sharp penetrating attacks of force and maneuver being over.

German military theorists eschew the term "Blitzkrieg." Many prefer the term "Bewegungskrieg," which I think is indeed more descriptive.

The Russians tried to fight Ukraine using the tank army tactics of 1945. That no longer works. They really should have studied our two wars against Iraq more.

I wonder if they learned anything from our tumultuous withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Thanks for your thoughts on the subject!

Regards,
