You seem to be in “internet” mode where all conflicts are solved by pushing the nuclear button.
Reality is over here, instead. Just saying...
Tanks still have their places on the battlefield. Lots of small arms fire is out there.
Plus, as more lasers like Israel’s Iron Dome are deployed, you’ll start to see anti-RPG lasers on tanks...which have the energy source on-board to run lasers and they don’t care about an extra 100 pounds for the lasers.
Eventually the lasers will have the range to take out aerial drones, too.
If you look around, you might even see a battlefield laser deployed on a Destroyer at sea.
...kinda lets ya know where things are headin’
I guess it would depend on who deployed their laser first!
I am sure the TECh has also developed into an umbrella type laser that can kill advancing troops as well!
What you did not gleen from my statement is there will be no battlefield it will be obliterated from the outset!
Tech has surpassed Tracks! Nuke tech will be concised to a kill zone!
Better for us Russia concentrate on developing power projection over land rather than sea. I don’t think these are intended for Europe.
But, dammit, Scotty-man, we need phasers NOW. . .
(grin)
Not just lasers. The Navy is doing some impressive work on railguns. . . .
