The gist of the article which I agree a lot seems to be.
Nothing has significantly changed since the 80s-90s, ATGMs have gotten better but they were still a huge problem back then and the solution seems to be the same, better recon, more artillery.
Drones don't represent something new but really precision strikes at a discount, capabilities only available to major powers once are now "buy off the shelf".
The TB-2 with a couple of MAM missiles does the same job as an f4 with a couple of walleyes.
The only difference being the f4 cost 2 million dollars in 1965 while the TB-2 costs 2 million dollars now.

- lakis 5y agoanti-tank hand grenades are obsolete. The only use is to somehow get them to detonate under the tank and pray it will do something. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-tank_grenade https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-tank_grenade At best they are used not against tanks but against light armored vehicles like "Humvees, Strykers and MRAPs " without any armor upgrades
- greedo 5y agoTell that to the tanks being destroyed as I described. These drones are dropping RKG-1600 grenades on to the top of Russia's top tanks and destroying them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMWHTVLWo2E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMWHTVLWo2E Wikipedia is not always a good source for military information, FYI... https://cat-uxo.com/explosive-hazards/grenades/rkg-1600-hand-grenade https://cat-uxo.com/explosive-hazards/grenades/rkg-1600-hand...
