It could be the days of tanks and similar vehicles are over no matter who makes them. It happened to the battleship.

On the other hand the missiles have performed, just as they did in Syria. It seems countries like India, China and Russia have placed increased emphasis on this area.

The US is behind in this area but we did have a successful hypersonic missile test not long ago, so we’re probably closing the gap quickly.

Yep. Infantry is important again. Helicopters are useful for transport and surprise raids but they are vulnerable if you use them as gunships (Black Hawk Down).

I heard that back in the day. Back when the guy next to me in a pitched battle between our guys and some invading tribe, was clubbed to death and the guy behind him was chopped with a stone axe. Ever since then humans have been obsolete.
