is infantry still relevant in this day and age?
For what task? If you don't want to damage the infrastructure, aren't willing to use chemical weapons and even if you are, want to be sure there's no protective gear users hiding in the infrastructure, what else is there?
>>64365642Yeah, they are pretty general purpose for just about anything
Yes, you just need to have more soldiers then the enemy has FPV drones in the relevant section of frontline.
>>64365642you need boots on the ground to actually occupy and control the clay. No way of getting around that and no, drones are not the answer. they are good at holding static lines but not policing and occupying the streets also your pic related wasn't infantry but a pilot in the imperial japanese navy
>>64365642Yes, infantry held the line in 2024 Ukraine when artillery was short and drones were jammed. For every drone fight there were 4-5 squad or fire-team-size infantry ones.
>>64365749drones, infrared monitoring, etc.
>>64366365Famously inadequate in the Russo-Ukranian War. Ukrainian infantry using small arms and crew served weapons have been responsible for turning back the supermajority of Russian assaults after the first year, where artillery had the starring role.
Listen, you fantastically retarded motherfucker. I’m going to try to explain this so that you can understand it.You cannot control an entire country and its people with tanks, jets, battleships and drones or any of these things that you so stupidly believe Trump's citizen ownership of firearms.A fighter jet, tank, drone, battleship or whatever cannot stand on street corners. And enforce “no assembly” edicts. A fighter jet cannot kick down your door at 3AM and search your house for contraband.None of these things can maintain the needed police state to completely subjugate and enslave the people of a nation. Those weapons are for decimating, flattening and glassing large areas and many people at once and fighting other state militaries. The government does not want to kill all of its people and blow up its own infrastructure. These are the very things they need to be tyrannical assholes in the first place. If they decided to turn everything outside of Washington D.C. into glowing green glass they would be the absolute rulers of a big, worthless, radioactive pile of shit.Police are needed to maintain a police state, boots on the ground. And no matter how many police you have on the ground they will always be vastly outnumbered by civilians which is why in a police state it is vital that your police have automatic weapons while the people have nothing but their limp dicks.BUT when every random pedestrian could have a Glock in their waistband and every random homeowner an AR-15 all of that goes out the fucking window because now the police are out numbered and face the reality of bullets coming back at them.If you want living examples of this look at every insurgency that the U.S. military has tried to destroy. They’re all still kicking with nothing but AK-47s, pick up trucks and improvised explosives because these big scary military monsters you keep alluding to are all but fucking useless for dealing with them.Dumb. Fuck.
>>64365642Somebody has to fight ICE when Trump’s people won’t leave the Whitehouse. Dems are mostly unarmed, and while ICE is mostly untrained, they have a lot of equipment and that Proud Boy energy.
>>64368306Retarded noguns faggot
>>64365642boots on ground is always important for maintaining control but boots on ground that can engage at 1000m? Now that's unheard of and will render all opfors incapable.
>>64368306Dude the SOF Slade guy is a full blown leftist christ cuck holy shit.... If they have dudes like him on their side I can't imagine who else are democrats
>>64365642Across most of the world, infantry are the only combat unit.
>>64366365Air recon and precision munitions can't hold territory, no.
>>64368306>Dems are mostly unarmedWhat's it like, still living in the Obama years?
>>64368291Thanks for saving the words of the based jap
>>64365642More relevant than ever
>>64365642>is infantry still relevant in this day and age?considering infantry divisions outnumber all other types of units in the army combined, yeah they are
>>64368512Sure, and most of the world has nearly zero ability to engage in modern warfare. Once you get past the top ten countries, the military basically only exists to protect the regime from its own people.
>>64365642can't occupy with f35s.
>>64365642They're the backbone of literally every single army on Earth... so probably.
>>64368510>>64368530The only reason Trump's people would "refuse to leave" is Vance and the repubs winning in a landslide due to policies like>keeping the money you earnand>kicking out the worthless foreign moochers no matter how good their "authentic" street tacos areare far more popular with voters than>infinity gibs for niggers and sex change operations for kindergarteners
>>64368516They can make it piss easy to the point where your infantry really just exists to catch the occasional straggler though.
>>64368516>can't hold territoryArea denial is almost good enough
>>64369401Key word, almost. Drones and artillery couldn't stop the majority of Russian fireteam size infiltration units in Ukraine. Ukrainian infantry did that.
>>64365642It sucks for them but there isn't a better option for a lot of tasks.
>>64369382Shaping up to be a real landslide.
>>64365642No that why they get assblasted by the superior pog aka people who's rate/mos ACTUALLY fucking matter
Zoomers are unable to function effectively as infantry. Many are barely able to function as human beings. Automation of warfare isn't just desirable to reduce casualties, but a necessity because there is going to be a shortage of qualified manpower in future
>>64365642Holy shit that game was utter fucking garbage, please stop posting at your earliest convenience
>>64369604>img_#Lel
>>64365642Nothing has changed in a hundred years.You still need assault infantry to capture a piece of scorched earth.
>>64365642>is infantry still relevant in this day and age?Everyone saying infantry is obsolete has never been in position with no infantry between you and the enemy
>>64369604L tranny
>>64370485Yeah that was 2024. Republicans can’t even get a win in Alaska now.
>>64365642It's the most efficient way for the ruling class to cull the threatening part of the population. This is the real reason for wars btw. If WW2 was real, Toyota and Volkswagen would not exist.
>>64370430>is this thing widely used by everyone obsolete?sometimes I wonder if people are just contrarians for the sake of it
>>64374023>get your laughs by pretending to be retarded and eventually you'll find yourself abandoned by the intelligent and surrounded by retards who consider themselves your peer -t. 1700s french blogger/k/ proved him right.
>>64369382Nah, once Trump has gotten through his second term I fully forsee a schism in the republican party between Vance supporters wanting to make Trump a new political dynasty and an establishment pick that'll bring the party back to where it used to be. Forsee 2028 to be a lame duck election between 2 people nobody really likes because the Dems will still be in a tailspin as a party by then. I'm erring more on the side of milquetoast democrat rather than whatever the RNC backs because I fully forsee the republican equivalent of bernouts to vote blue because their faction's nominee lost. I hope to be wrong but I'm really good at calling elections in advance
