Amazing video as always , love your channel.
In the Yugoslav wars hardly any armor was lost to bombing after the Serbs hid everything in the forests. Maybe Armenia should have planted some trees... Camouflage is key in a defensive situation (as you will see in a future video).
this is the best analysis i've seen so far of this development its similiar with battleships being faced out as aircraftcarriers took over their role as main offensive naval asset also in conjunction with drone, this could make smaller aircraft carriers feasable, that literaly fire drones out, that are then steered by operaters somehwere compeltely else? or on board. this could make it possible for smaller countrys to actualy rival naval power, and actualy establish full souvereignity over near trade routs, as the clumsy appartus of the USA with their expensive oldschool carriers looss out, or needs more time to adapt.
I'd say we were in a military revolution for around 100 years now. It all started with automotive machines becoming dominant on the battlefield and will conclude with these machines becoming autonomous to a certain degree. I think we will have to wait for the next military revolution (who knows when that will happen...) until we get to "robotic soldiers"; for the simple fact that IQ and scientific progress are already stalling. We are probably nearing the apogee of this last revolution, and the next stage will be about the standardization and rationalization of the progress that was achieved.
i think there are no true military revolutions for a whole lot of time, maybe the introduction of horses, or ranged weapons at all. etc but since then it is more like an evolutionary race with many different branches and dead ends as well as continual improvements
It's just a few of many war crimes of Armenia! They shelled the peaceful population in Gandja, they used phosphorus bombs to burn our forests in Shusha, they burned down houses, cut down trees, cruelly killed animals before leaving occupied territories. Check out Agdam, Fizuli, Zangelan, Djebrail, Kelbadjar - all those places after 30 years of occupation, are ghost towns.
Mostly agree. But the advent of drones seen in the context of the success of Hezbollah using small mobile anti-tank missiles against IDF in S Lebanon and the US military war games where the team playing Iran used small mobile missiles fired from speed boats to defeat US aircraft carriers in the Persian Gulf demonstrate the significance of the rise of smaller, more portable, and more accurate missile technology allowing smaller and weaker armies (with less $$$, smaller populations to draw from, and smaller less advanced economies to develop tech) to acquire weapons that reduce the advantages of the larger and more powerful nation-states. The advantages of scale and scope that accrue to the larger forces are diminished, but not eliminated, with this innovation in smaller, portable, accurate missile tech.
I feel like the biggest lesson from this war and the last 20 years is the the US lead infatuation with complicated sophisticated systems and platforms is a giant Achilles heel that isn't discussed enough. What's the point of having such a massive military budget if you over spend on everything and waste money on maitance of expensive status symbols.
Actually the video is about the end of attack helicopters and ground-attack jets xD But the real thread to the MBT will come with Unmanned ATV, that will be included to support infantry platoons offering the same support as IFV but lacking the armor. There's an ongoing discussion about the reintroduction of self-propelled guns as replacement of MBTs as a more cheaper alternative. Its curious how as new disruptive technologies comes to place intuition calls to revised old and obsolete concepts like the assault gun or ground-attack helix planes. Maybe the thing is more about that deploying large quantities of armor on the battlefield is becoming rare and as urban combat has increasingly become the main landscape on late 20th century and early 21st the need for more nimble units with high fire power is what is shaping the composition of armies.
You forgot that the English custom of dismounting their men-at-arms and having mostly polearm-armed infantry was heavily influenced by the Scottish. Also, the use of terrain and defensive structures were a key factor in the early defeats of Men-at-arms. (Have a look at Ottoman tactics, they're reminiscent of Hussite ones). btw, it can be argued that muskets and pikes removed lancers from the forefront of western military thiniking since Cuirassiers and cavalry skirmishers became the focus of attention. (I know, Polish Hussars existed ).
Fair point, but I do point out the Scottish connection in my Bannockburn video. I really wanna make an "early-modern tactics" video, but I always keep postponing it... :P
nice argument, also tanks are the modern heavy cavalry, they breech larger formations and bring shock value , just as cavalry did, with differences ofc the thing with drone sis that, pilots are easier trained and found than pilots.
Death of tanks? I heared death of infantry which makes no sense, but death of tanks is extreamly stupid. Drones will probably be just another aspect of warfare, similar to gunpowder artillery or air force. PS. Nice to have you back. I hope you are well and that next year will be better for you. I would say good job, but I fear that youtube will find this offensive and ban me again.
@@jackbharucha1475 the US military is limiting thier use. In 2015 I think the airforce brought some Vietnam Era OV-10 broncos with refit optics and sensors for Close air support in Afghanistan, because after a decade there they realized flying a million dollar jet which can only cover troops from 1 hour, makes no sense when you have air superiority and the enamy has a limited capacity to take on aircraft. So prop planes become an asset the can land on short bumpy run ways or roads cost maybe 50K and due to low air speed can litter for longer covering troops. So it's more a revaluation of priorities. The A29 super tucano is essentially a modern prop plane with all the integrated optics and hardware of modern role. Well sorry for the rant.
Drones and drone technology is widely accessible for even the tiny 2nd world nations, but modern anti-air/drone defenses aren't. That's why in conflicts so far we only see drones operating easily with little to no opposition. If large modern nations fought we would see that drones would have a hard time getting through modern anti-air systems. For example, Rhinemetall made a whole anti-air and anti-drone defense suites, one example being shooting multiple beams of laser to simply disable the drone sensors, cameras and melt plastic parts.
For example, Armenia and Azerbaijan would never be able to afford anti-air/drone systems such as in this video czcams.com/video/PV3jfR-FUFc/video.html But meanwhile they would be able to afford fairly modern drones. So there is a drone-heavy bias in the wars we're seeing so far. Disclaimer: the Laser HEL system in the video is still experimental, but the rest of the system (the Oerlikon guns and modern radar tracking system) are already in use. Drones would never be able to come close.
@@FFFFFFF-FFFFFFFUUUUCCCC Armenia and Syria both had Tor and Pantsyr, and its safe to assume they shot down a large number of drones. But drones still won every time (even if by a small margin).
drone is very nice aircraft compared to man figther plane interm of war drone csn destroy everythings in the air and in the groud enemy the pilot of drone while attacking the enemy can take coffee and foods without fair they can listen to music while attacking very nice and ifdrone shot down by the enemy no man is involve very nice weapon
Armenia`s military aggression resulted in the occupation by the Armenian armed forces of 20 percent of the territory of the Republic of Azerbaijan - Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven adjacent districts, including the town of Khankandi, the districts of Khojaly, Shusha, Lachin, Khojavand, Kalbajar, Aghdam, Fuzuli, Jabrayil, Gubadli and Zangilan, as well as 13 villages in Tartar district, 7 villages in Gazakh district and 1 village in Sadarak district in Nakhchivan.

nice argument,

the thing with drone sis that, pilots are easier trained and found than pilots.
the real question is why aren't air defense systems more pushed? we need better air defense it seems

It's now will. It's how they have !!!!
You miss the point, the drone case is more serious. Think a drone is a bullet and not a plane...
do not forget gustav banning pikes
Great Video; if anyything this war proves that big heavy fuck-off machine guns still have use in the anti-air role
so it's back to trench warfare then
Should the USAF replace the A-10 with drones?
This is why you shouldn't comment before watching the video
