Like always this war is changing the art of war. The idea of small mobile long range air defense (offense) system most likely was never considered
Just like having a large capacity to produce artillery rounds, we use air power….
Drones have changed everything nuff said don’t need to beat a dead horse , but what the response will be, the counter and counter counter …. measures will be and who developed them first will be crucial
“The idea of small mobile long range air defense (offense) system”
FtrPilot expressed interest in that, earlier in the war. He wanted to know if PATRIOT launchers could be forward deployed, far from their radars, for just such an ambush (without exposing the radar to additional threat).
We will have to see what can be done in practice, but it is a good idea.
