I have read a lot of speculation here over the years that perhaps such staples of warfare such as aircraft carriers, tanks, and even manned fighter jets might be becoming obsolete

It all depends on which type of fight you get into and who you are fighting with, but yeah, all of those things are in some way obsolete.

Tanks have been obsolete in force on force battle since the late 1970s. Aircraft carriers have never been tested in modern force on force battle, but they will most certainly lose.

The only reason we have pilots in fighter (actual air to air fighter) aircraft anymore is for career advancement.

It'll be all about drones. Our jets are obsolete. Carriers with dozens of drones on them would be the way to go.

Pretty much everything is obsolete.
