Great insight in this comment - in the 21st century wars are so unique that hi-tech weapons emerge specifically for certain battlefield applications.
I.e. just one country over, just one slightly different conflict between different actors would require completely different looking-feeling weapon systems.
It’s not something you think about, usually - so much of what we see used is made for asymmetrical warfare.
- more_corn 1y agoYeah, so Taiwan. Drones or no drones? Just poking around at the news, seeing Chinese drone carrier ships. Drone carrier aircraft, landing craft being prepared, drone swarming being practiced. Pretty sure we’re going to see a lot of drone warfare in the coming years. I hate to put a timeline on it but the Chinese did announce one so we know what it’s going to look like and where it’s going to happen and when it’s going to happen. And there gunna be lotsa drones.
- euroderf 1y agoWhen the battlespace is crawlin' with drones, floating hunks of metal large enough to carry humans and their vehicles are going to be prominent & vulnerable. The Chinese are big on dual-use hulls. Do all these normally-civilian ships have mount points for rapid-fire point defense ?
