Yes they have proven decisive in Israel's Lebanon war which introduced them to the world, to Ngorno Karabakh when Azerbaijan defeated the Armenians, and in Ukraine where, surprise of surprises, the Russians learned how to use them (unfortunately ) and developed some good ones like the advanced Orlan and the Lancet.
Isn’t there something about generals always fighting the last war? In our case it may be they’re not fighting at all. Too busy worrying about pronouns diversity and equity
What if we invested a little time and effort into understanding the psychology driving society?
Not from any hope of saving it, but simply better understanding the foibles driving it.
The fact is that many of our base assumptions about reality are still fairly primitive.
For example, is time the present moving past to future, or is it change turning future to past?
Delve into that and you might better understand the feedback loops driving much of reality, that keeps short circuiting our linear, goal oriented belief systems.
Excellent timing for this article. I happened to see the video of the Merkava tank being hit by a bomb dropped from a drone and my first thought was how does a tank fight back against that.
Drones and robotics are the standard. The sooner the better.

Otherwise we blow ourselves up with our own technology.
Still monkeys throwing rocks.
I will try and read your link.
Thanks.

now they do it with active defense systems
Then they would have difficulty doing what tanks do best and most of them would be blown up on Day 1
You mean ground based drones?
