The balance has shifted towards anti tank munitions. Armor is at a disadvantage currently.

It is an arms race though. The Russian are equipping their tanks with drone jammers.

I think media (largely truthfully) has never made anyone want to be in a B-17, C-47, or anything with wheels or tracks less.

Remember the quote from SPR? "Five men is an opportunity.
One is a waste of ammo." That's what I feel about vehicles of any sort.

The IDF seemed to have taken all of this anti-drone/RPG tech and standardized it. Us shipping Abrams to people stripped (I'm assuming) of potentially intelligence compromising tech, I don't know how that'll work out.

Meanwhile, we're decommissioning A-10s at Davis Monthan. Does anyone thing those could be employed? Bueller? Bueller? Of course, their pilots would not measure to ours, but... Stick airframes in the desert while the Russians are sending flights of SU-25s over?

It's a shite show of proportions not witnessed by people in our generation.
