Do you think the next war will be fought based on tech alone?

[Scustin Bieburr]

When your drones ain't charging because your power grid gets shut down what's the plan?

If EMPs can be released to scramble the systems of your jets or to redirect your missiles....

How are you going to get a united fighting force when your country can't even agree on whether you're at war and who the enemy is because their brains are being scrambled by algorithms and propaganda?

Are we actually at war and losing but we won't realize until it's over?

There are no major/global wars since the US has been a dominant player

unlike Europe

shyt will really get hairy when India/China nut up. Expect Pakistan to be in the news often.

 

[NoGutsNoGLory]

No more major wars. Everyone is too scared if nukes. Proxy wars will happen all the time though.

 

[FINALE]

No. If you mean a war involving the US.

While we have tech that could wipe out literally any other country in a non-allied war, we will always have a place for boots on the ground.

 

[MR. SNIFLES]

NOPE. AS LONG AS THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO LOVE WAR, BODIES WILL ALWAYS HAVE A PLACE ON THE BATTLEFIELD.

 

[Roger king]

There will always be a need or use for conventional warfare with actual boots on the ground and human involvement, in this current era with several nations with nuclear weapons and long range missile capability a lot of care and restraint before going into war especially if it involves other huge powers, and the best way to likely reduce military and civilian casualties on both sides is with actual troops

Tech alone? No I don't think so probably will be some chemical/bio engineering going on too.

 

[Geek Nasty]

No this is a mistake peacetime generals always make. They get too excited about new tech Then find out some bumpkin farmer with a CB tuned to the right frequency can disrupt your whole drone fleet.

 

[Strapped]

Venezuela, Iran , the Middle East & whoever has resources that we need can get got if they don't have a tight clique for protection from Russia or China .NATO boys will continue to carpet bomb & destroy lives all under the guise of democracy

 

[mbewane]

I would suggest that soldiers are also employees and all their equipment, transport etc are HUGE markets, even more so in countries with significant numerous armies (the US, Russia, China, Turkey etc) and that they themselves (through their representatives) hold huge political power. What I'm saying is that a war is not only about defeating your enemy but also about feeding your own people and keeping a market working.

Flying Drones are here to stay, but there's already a counter-measure for them.

The AI Machine Gun of the Future Is Already Here

The Pentagon is pursuing every available option to keep US troops safe from the rising tide of adversary drones, including a robotic twist on its standard-issue small arms.

I'm saying tho

If the general is too busy thinking his fellow citizens are about to rebel against the government, will he have the means to prepare for war with a foreign adversary?

Information is a weapon in war. What's to stop Russia from continuing to inflame racial, economic, and other tension here through the use of online trolls, stochastic terrorism etc.?

They don't need to fire a single shot when their opponent is literally too divided to form up and attack. What's the plan if some squads will obey orders while others will refuse them? What's the plan if the people getting trained on how to operate drones can't agree on the basics of how the technology even works because of influencers spreading bullshyt online?


And with the prospect of realistic deep fakes, what is the counter measure when your communication devices are giving you orders that your superiors did not actually make, but you believed them because the voice sounded realistic enough while you were in the heat of battle?
