    I think I see it the same way I think they saw it after the end of World War II, if I recall correctly. Military planners thought there was no reason to have a conventional navy or army because the air force had just become so, so advanced, and because nuclear weapons still existed. Granted, in a conventional setting, drones are much more useful than nuclear weapons, but I'd still always lean on the side of caution when it comes to "we don't need X, Y, Z anymore because we have A now". Of course, I definitely agree that drones are insanely useful in modern warfare, but drones certainly don't nullify the need and/or use of conventional strategies and weapons systems, and I would assume that point is compounded more than most of what we call "modern warfare" is assymetrical and is government v nongovernmental faction (though two current conflicts serve as exceptions to that), rather than government v government, where, I at least, drones might be less useful against such well-armed, well-funded militaries.
    As another commenter said: "In Ukraine, both sides of the conflict are actively using similar systems, especially Russia with its Lancet and Geranium drones. However, this did not abolish the classic Tanks, Artillery and Aircraft, but only complemented them on the battlefield." Maybe I'm already sucumbing to traditionalist mentality, despite not being all that old, but, in my own opinion based on what I know, drones are going to be another addition to military arsenals, but not a *replacement* for much of anything. The same went for a modernizing air force - it didn't replace anything.

Sure, they may only cost $5k to produce in materials, but thats ignoring the man hours for development and the operating costs, which it still has. So let's say $50k per drone (which is extremely low compared to actual estimates) - $50k * x over a long enough period is going to cost the same or more than just having a damn jet that can actually defend itself and come home reliably. There's a reason they fly reapers in hostile environments with no protections.. they're dispensable.

      I think the biggest thing is that to a degree, it further equalizes the relative power between global opponents.
      It means for relatively low costs, you can give quality equipment to many forces. So long as you're not facing crushing air Supremacy, there is now quite a bit you can do to counter threats from superior forces. That's what the rise of cheap precision does.
      Even for smaller and middle powers in a context of government V government, that too is true. The rise of autonomous systems and lower production costs associated with them means that they can afford to expand their air forces enough to contest the skies and not be immediately crushed by air superiority. Overall, it's a further democratization of the battlefield. Though likely still in favor of smaller, better equipped and technical forces, rather than very large forces.
      As far as the current trend is going, it seems the future is dominated by a small core of very expensive systems that can achieve breakthroughs, aided by a vast number of very cheap autonomous systems meant to compliment them.

      Why would someone build a single super carrier just to house swarm drones, if you can build 10 regular sized ships full of drones instead? The reason for the massive size of the carrier is the flightdeck, plane storage and the thousands of crewman needed to operate it. And by the way, there are also drone ships out there, so we might see a autonomous drone carrier at some day.

    Conventional aircraft, tanks and ships will always have a place, be it just a TAC/ FCC units that survey the battlefield and provide data to their drone swarm or for fast intercept and interdiction. Yes, as the war in Ukraine shows drones play a big role in modern warfare, but I don't see them take over every role.

    From the anti-drone capabilities (both electromagnetic, guns, and smart munitions from grenade launchers), I think that infantry will become almost a hard counter to drones much like they are against vehicles. Unlike with anti-armor capabilities for infantry, though, it will be cheaper and easier to equip more troops with anti-drone capabilities, which is also fitting due to the numbers drones can be deployed in, so you won't need specific squads designated for the role with other squads having only a small capability to handle it themselves like you do with anti-tank weapons.
    Infantry are amazing. They can counter anything with the right equipment and can hold territory on the cheap.

    drones while cheaper are nowhere close to replacing manned aircraft simply because drones can be disabled far easier then an f-18 with a guided bomb they just simply work well with the traditional tanks artillery and air forces like in Ukraine. and I say disabled easier because Raytheon has developed a new portable anti drone laser to put on The back of vehicles and also developed a microwave gun that can fry their electronics now try taking out a super sonic f-15 flying at a low altitude like a drone using an AA gun or stinger and see how much harder it is.

    i am of the opinion that uav and uac won't entirely replace the manned units but will augment the abilities of a military by using the benefits of both. a computer or remote controlled plane won't compete with a manned plane in a head to head. but this video talked well about what the unmanned units can be very good for. ac130 gunship could be replaced by an unmanned one that can loiter around a location for an entire day and the crew fatigue is a non-issue.

    It’s only a matter of time before we eventually see a carrier that has multiple drones to compliment the number of actual manned aircraft. The carriers will house the drone pilots but you will always need manned craft. The gap between manned and AI supported craft will get smaller with the final decision to attack or bomb resting in the hands of human. I’m not trying to sound naive as that last prediction may also change.

    • @joelmulder
      @joelmulder Před 4 měsíci

      Totally agree, even if it's only 1 manned aircraft per 10 or more drones, there will still need to be a human in the loop.
      Communications back to the carrier where the drone operators sit can be jammed, and for certain missions you just need a human to be there to make decisions and push the button.

    I wouldn't say so that it will *already* be the end of manned military machines, there are still hundreds of other thing that unmanned drones cannot do compared to manned vehicles, like the B-52, C-130, C-17, and C-5, you'll notice that unmanned crafts cannot access large transport aircraft capabilities. But the B-2 is gonna be replaced with the unmanned B-21 Raider. But both are not big enough to have the same capacity of the mentioned crafts. Soooo, it will be a long time before militaries find a way to replace their transport aircrafts, I mean c'mon! The C-130 and B-52s are almost 2/3 of a hundred years old! (Probably.) Because they are very superior at certain points of time, like the Vietnam war, the B-52s are literally bombarding Vietnam. And it will be a long time before similar sized unmanned aircrafts have Similar events.

    Considering even city police forces are equipped with anti drone jammer guns that will bring them down it will take like a year for any heavily modernized military power to develop cheap anti drone tech. Big drones will be fried by lasers, small drones will be fried by CWIS, lasers, or drone jammers. Considering how much the US is putting into laser tech, anti air missiles could easily become a thing of the past.

    It's so reassuring that the same approach that constantly giving us unfinished software from operating systems and videogames to cars that tends to be patched for years in order to be reliable while some products like full self-driving are selling on promises that can never be fulfilled with current hardware in Tesla cars is now being applied to autonomous killing machines where the fact that product is being rushed as much as possible as is common with tech companies, and inability to hack these machines because they are autonomous is being described as some kind of advantage we should cheer for whatever reason...
    Also, who are these defense tech start-up companies targeting with their propaganda by proclaiming they cannot be hacked because they are autonomous when the ability to change targets in flight by the operator is a common feature even on cruise missiles like Tomahawk when you can hardly find a military that would want to operate an autonomous system they cannot control once it leaves launch site which means they are susceptible to hacking regardless if they are or aren't autonomous?
    Seriously, how stupid must the target audience be to see such statements as being positive after experiences with this approach from a civilian sector that are now being applied even to killing machines procured and operated by people with questionable morals that will happily pass unfinished products like F-35 into service for public image/business reasons???
