Battlefields of the future will be dominated by drones, AI, and robots. From Davor Slobodanovich Vuyachich at strategic-culture.org:
The keys to future victories, both military and civilian, are already in the hands of engineers and programmers.
There is no doubt that the experiences of the ongoing armed conflict in Ukraine and Novorossiya will dramatically and permanently change the classic military doctrines and that military science will have to be written from scratch. All major military powers are now carefully analyzing the battles on the bloody Ukrainian battlefield in order to draw as many lessons and conclusions as possible from them, which will enable them to foresee the directions of the development of new weapons, strategies, and tactics and reorganize their military industries and armies in the shortest possible time. The set tasks will put enormous pressure on scientific institutes, project bureaus, and weapons factories, but increasingly also on IT experts. Engineers and programmers will be required to have the kind of creativity that only professional science fiction writers and futurists have had until now, but also to always be a few steps ahead of the competition. In fact, it is not at all impossible that armies will actually start hiring the best science fiction writers and futurists to inspire and guide engineers and developers with their creativity. At the same time, it will be increasingly difficult to predict which direction the competition will take, so intelligence officers of all profiles will have their hands full. Undoubtedly, the wars of the very near future will be dominated by robotics, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, quantum computers, spacecraft, and space battles.
Keep an eye on Africa where the French colonialists are being kicked out.
They were operating on a we are fighting the terrorists doctrine when none have been captured in over a year.
It was really about exploiting the resources.
Niger is example 101 and Mali, Burkina Faso are allies with them militarily.
This could be the mission accomplished “victory” for Brandon?
If the fabulous fighting 69th rump rangers can get it done.
It could also be a testing/proving grounds for these new technologies and tactics.
