Warfare is changing. Navies and tanks will soon be outdated. Ships are sitting ducks even with the best defenses on them in the age of cheap drones and hypersonic missiles.

Ukrainians are amazingly accurate with there cheap drones. You could purchase a 1,000 armed drones for the price of a tank.

Tanks have to be used correctly and in coordination with other services. Tanks need to mass quickly on a location that is not expecting to be the point of attack. The artillery prep must be effective. The attack aviation must be effective. The infantry support and infantry fighting vehicles must move in concert with the armor.

Without tanks, moving against strong enemy positions becomes more problematic. Tanks can be taken out with missiles and mines. Infantrymen can be taken out with shrapnel, snipers, mines, machine guns, automatic grenade launchers, and a whole laundry list of weapons.

Anti-drone drones may also limit the dominance of drones.
