If armed men enter the _correct_ room. And finding that is not as easy as it looks in movies, taking into account the fact that there can be no _the_ room rather than several rooms in different countries. Infantry can get stretched too thin to cover all of them at once.
- Kon-Peki 3y agoThe Geneva Conventions aren't offering you any protections, so if the infantry is stretched a little too thin you probably can't do much complaining about the "treatment" they give you.
- broken-kebab 3y agoWhat you describe is exactly how it looks in Hollywood movies, while in real life we still yet to see any strategic achievements anywhere caused merely by cyberattack in spite of all sci-fi propheting. E.g. Ukrainian, and Russian hackers have been attacking each other relentlessly since RF started the war, and most successful operations include Ukrainians transmitting anti-Putin images on advertisement screens somewhere, and some e-services downed for a few hours on both sides. It looked cool in news, but didn't move a needle on the ground. Or during massive protests in Belarus in 2020, pro-opposition hackers penetrated almost everywhere, leaked tons of info, but when it all eventually boiled down to armed gov't loyalist forces vs unarmed crowds in streets, guess who won? Organized power is not that dependent on internets, and really important electronic systems are not that fragile anymore. Meanwhile infantry changes power on the ground in a very tangible, inescapeable way.
