It would seem to me that the war in Ukraine demands a completely new appraisal of modern warfare. Tanks seem an easy target. Low cost drones can be used effectively against infantry, artillery and tracked vehicles. Counter-artillery fire leaves first-fire artillery at risk. Ships at sea are prey to missiles fired from distant shores. Jets are still being brought down by hand-fired missiles. It seems silly now, but the massive loss of life points to a new warfare, that will have to be undertaken by robots in the same way that airwar is being fought by drones.
“Counter-artillery fire leaves first-fire artillery at risk.”
Yes and no.
If it’s towed artillery such as the Msta-B, D-30, M198, or M777 you’re pretty much screwed because of the slower displacement times involved.
If you’re on something like the Pzh2000, Paladin, HIMARS or MLRS you can fire multiple rounds and be on the move before the first round even hits the target.
Russian counter-battery fire isn’t as fast as ours, even our ancient AN/TPQ-37 could plot locations before enemy rounds reached their apogee, and the info sent to our firing batteries before impact.
