Survivability on a modern battlefield be it on land, sea or air against a technologically sophisticated opponent is not long. Big capital surface ships are particularly vulnerable.

Armor is still necessary, but the anti-tank missiles and rockets available today render them highly vulnerable.

Rommel perfected this in 1941-2. The more things change the more they stay the same.

This vehicle uses an integrated weapons platform produced by Leonardo DRS, a fine Italian defense technology company.

We need the new Italian government to finally provide their proper 2% share of GDP on defense spending, which is now only 1.1%.

This is a good, badly-needed idea. Our anti-air capabilities at the tactical level are....not so great. We’ve depended solely on air dominance for a long time, and there’s no guarantee of that in any future conflict.
