Take a look at what’s going on in the only high intensity near peer battlefield in recent decades. It’s 95% drones. $500 drone with an RPG duct taped to it immobilizes an Abrams MBT and the other two finish it off. Then Mavics drop grenades on the crew. For reach there are larger drones, cruise missiles, ballistics and hypersonics. “CAS” is bullshit in 2024. At best, planes are launching missiles or guided bombs from tens of miles away.

(And CAS!) > ”CAS” is bullshit in 2024 Stand-off CAS is still CAS. Air support for ground and naval units is far from obsolete.
