Tanks need infantry and support to protect them, and vice versa. Combined arms is not new, and new weapons always bring about countermeasures. The drones used by Russia and Ukraine will eventually encounter viable defenses.

The USMC used jammers for the marine air defense integrated system (madis) on light vehicles on the decks of carriers to take down down Iranian drones. The cost to take down Iranian drones was the cost of the gasoline to power the jammer.

Do you work for General Dynamics? Don’t believe your lying eyes, listen to the soothing reassurances of the MIC talking heads. The vast majority of our trillion dollar weapon systems are obsolete or so technologically fickle that they can’t be properly operated or maintained. The obsolete USN can’t deal with the Houthi irregulars, just send in 10 billion in armor and watch the Houthi destroy those obsolete assets.
