Before WW2 the French had invested more in fortifications than the Germans did in tanks. Unfortunately, tanks were what mattered. The US may have the best fighter planes and the best destroyers, but maybe what is going to really matter is the quality and quantity of missiles and drones.
Not that anyone really knows..
- ZanyProgrammer 12y agoThe Zumwalt isn't lacking for missiles, and since when are we in a drone deficit?
- hga 12y agoThe French and their allies also invested more in tanks than the Germans, they had about 1/5 more in the Battle of France. Also per Wikipedia, they had the most after the Soviet Union: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanks_in_France#Inter_War https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanks_in_France#Inter_War The content at that link does a pretty good job of explaining why this numerical and in many respects qualitative advantage did them little good. As for your latter point, from where will those missiles and drones be launched, and for the latter, recovered???
