if you want to still use armored columns, you obviously need screens of floating defensive droneswarms surrounding them that are ready to take out incoming enemy drones.

will be interesting to see if everything becomes drone-driven and we just have swarms of drones on the battlefield (and not much else) in short order

What’s the point of having tanks when you can mass manufacture autonomous drone swarms? How about infantry? These seem like liabilities that you are forced to protect, when an all drone fighting force would be efficient and cheap. Who cares if the enemy knocks out your $200 suicide drone? You can make millions of them and have a precision targeted weapon of mass destruction.

There are a lot of light vehicle-mounted anti-drone guns being developed now that counter this specific threat. All of the have the same profile of a mini radar / machine-vision-controlled flak gun. The more expensive and less proven solution is lasers

This would work well against drones in their current form. The not far off future is autonomous, coordinated attacks. Do you think such a system would do well against a coordinated drone attack? An autonomous system could fly them very quickly, low to the ground and attack from multiple directions simultaneously. They are cheap enough that you would be willing to have many of them destroyed to successfully take out a tank.

whats even the point of ground troops? just to hold territory that will be bombed by UAVs and drones ad infinitum? Noone knows how war works anymore and 100ks of white guys are just getting meatgrinded away while they find out the new rules here

ground troops are essential because that is victory, when you can have your troops walking around telling people wtf to do you have won the war, if you can't do that, you have not won, so you have to get them in, the question is in what manner I guess

I think troops become more important because ultimately a human life is about as cheap a thing as you can get, especially on a planet of 8 billion, they stack up very favorably to drones as compared to equipment

you have to actually take towns and then have your people there, you can't just keep a drone swarm above a village forever
