The Russo-Ukrainian War, and the massive losses being taken by IDF armor in Southern Lebanon, have demonstrated that combined arms warfare as we know it is completely obsolete. In Ukraine, artillery and drones and defensive lines in WW1 style attrition positional warfare has largely replaced tanks. The Israelis are likely to adopt similar tactics (as they did during the 1982-2000 occupation) using heavily fortified positions such as Beaufort castle once they dig in for the long haul.

Tanks will need to adapt to firing from fixed positions while using APS and cope cages to fend off FPV attacks. AA vehicles will need to be be 1/4 of any armored force. Large armored formations will need to practice dispersal again as they did during the Cold War under threat of tactical nuclear weapons. No one will be able to mass enough armor for a breakthrough or the swift mechanized maneuver actions that dominated mid to late 20th Century warfare. 73 Easting will be as relevant to the planners of today as Mars-la-Tour will be to Cambrai and Ypres

>Massive losses
Israel lost 84 soldiers in Lebanon in total since 2023.
Fiber optic drones are indeed a problem, but a solvable one because of how vulnerable they are. If people figured out how to destroy RPG's in midair, dinky toys like drones will have their solution too, especially on vehicles.
>>
>>65194384
Russia and Ukraine have dumped exorbitant amounts of resources into developing a counter to fiber optic drones and the best they can come up with are nets. Israel isn't gonna develop jack and will continue to be used as target practice by Hezbollah.

>>65194362
Best counter for tanks may be a RWS that can target drones and a carousel style autoloader. War will likely never not need a big armored gun so the tank will never truly die.

Loss is not only measured in lives but also in the components of your war machines. Israel has begun to lose both at an accelerated rate and more losses will occur as Hezbollah ramps up its drone warfare. Unless you are okay with catastrophic losses like those suffered by the Slavs wasting that much material is a luxury westernized militaries cannot afford against a group of techno jihadist.

A counter in the sense that the turret will be thrown into low orbit and may take out a drone if it's flying overhead?

The US' defeat by Iran shows that no Western military, even the best resourced in the world, has come up with a solution to asymmetric techno jihadism. This almost guarantees that if an Islamist uprising takes place in Europe for example, the government security forces will have no answer

100%. Tank should be vehicle armed with AAA (35-50mm) cannon.
Making analogy with WWII when carries spam became meta only surface combatants produced in the end of the WWII and after were AAA cruisers.

>>65194429
He's correct, Israel is operating under wartime censorship and basically throttles the release of info about soldiers killed. That's not even a secret.

>Tell me you know nothing about Israel without telling me you know nothing about Israel
It's a small country with unrestricted internet, that's fighting most of it's war within it's own civilian cell network coverage. It's literally impossible to hide casualties. The only reason casualties aren't disclosed right away is because they army has a policy of notifying the family before they find out through mass media, and even that doesn't always work.

These "tank is dead" posters clearly don't follow military affairs at all.

Russia is dragging every useable hull out of storage and getting it going.
Ukraine is taking literally any tracked vehicle it can get from european countries.
Every european country is buying new Leopards and IFVs.
China is developing a ton of different medium weight armored vehicles
The US is modernizing the Abrams to Sep3

Estonia just cancelled its half a billion worrh procurement program for IFVs and tanks. The money was redirected to drone acquisition and development

OK, but how many vehicles have been damaged, disabled or destroyed?
>>
>>65194618
They didn't cancel IFV procurement, they canceled *new* IFV procurement. They are going to upgrade their existing CV90s, instead of replacing them with CV90 Mk. 4s, as initially intended.
>>
>>65194421

Dunno, they might develop a new tactic to use the second great Kraut chimpout 80 years ago to demand US and Krauts donate them more stuff.

Estonia is incredibly poor, anon. Just wait until you hear what they did to their aircraft carrier project!

Okay, lets say for the sake of argument, it is x10 that. So 840 in 3 years. Lets be even kinder, x100, so 8,400 in 3 years. Hell even KINDER and say it is x1000, so 84,000. Russia, for example, is at ~250,000 dead and 1,000,000~ total. My point being, even if you randomly increase the numbers, what actually changes? Okay so they lost loads of soldiers, so? What does this mean? Is Israel going to collapse? No? Okay then.

Why would they need to do an uprising when they already have the government on their side?

Could we just armor the top of the tank
>>
>>65194362
FPVs could be taken out so easily by proximity-fuse grenade turrets, but nobody expected tanks to need them until the past 5-10 years. The PGS already has a round in the works for infantrymen that can deal with them as well. Armored vehicles aren't obsolete, they just desperately need upgrades to their active defense.

Just do what ukraine has been doing and use a drone to sweep it with a laser.
>>
>>65194362
>combined arms warfare as we know it is completely obsolete
If you have been paying attention, you'd know that is untrue. As with everything else, drones themselves simply needed to be added into the combined arms. Ukraine has used drones to isolate areas of the front and intercepting russians drones/drone teams. This gives them a relatively clear sector, allowing them to perform mechanised assaults onto the isolated pockets of russian infantry.

The drones main vulnerability at this time is their logistics footprint and the need for a sheltered position for the teams to operate from, so a true breakout would be able to avoid the worst of drone warfare.

Don't fall for propaganda its most likely they used laser ablation to damage the wire for hidden drones. There's cladding and core in a fiber you can't just dump large amount of light through a incidence angle.

With the US chimping out and abandoning Europe as an ally, and Germany finally growing back one of their balls, hopefully the opposite will happen.

Uprising?

They are becoming the police and mayors, buying up the franchises, and increasingly politicians.
All they have to do is adjust laws and how things are enforced. The authoritarian surveilence state and capabilities of law enforcement and the military benefits them if they are in charge.
They have the birth rates. Sharia can be implemented by vote. It is the former residents that will need uprisings that ai and government drones will be used to counter.

Europe and the US were invaded by unarmed people and conquered because they had it in their minds that invasion always looks like hostile military forces. Turns out all you needed to do to defeat white people was put your weapons down when crossing borders and then they won't fight back.
>>
>>65196233
Just because it happened in the US, doesn't mean it'll happen in Europe. The debate is much more open about it in Europe than it is in the US, and there's also far more pushback, even among mainstream parties.

It's a problem that can be easily solved by outfitting a tanks with a remote turret equipped with radars to detect FPV drones and a 7.62x51/54R turret to shoot them down. Still hasn't been implemented en masse because the "radars" part of it is expensive as fuck to mass produce, and they cost more than RCWS turrets.

Ground armoured warfare is over until viable automated counter battery starts working behind the frontlines, there may be a viability gap to exploit as a long range 120mm HE launcher.
Air armoured warfare is the new meta.
There will still be room for armoured logistics vehicles and armoured artillery, the distances for economical viability just shifted to further out and into more hardened earth positions.

Unironically those Russian moveable cope bunkers might be the only viable option until APS becomes truly viable, and even then those bunkers on tracks are pretty shit when facing more than an RPG

Big guns are still necessary on the battlefield and the only reliable way to bring a 125mm to a gunfight is still a tracked vehicle. Enemy troops sheltering in a building still need to be flushed out by big guns blasting load bearing walls from the ground. Assaults into enemy positions still need armored vehicles to bring infantry in, they still need close support from armor. You can't occupy a region with nothing but drones, eventually you need people on the ground to make forward positions.
