Will warfare ever look cool again?
>dogfights obsolete
>paratroopers obsolete
>everything will get automated eventually
>space battles will be the most boring thing in the universe
1000 years from now people will be amazed that humans actually got into flying death machines while trying to shoot each from close range, humans actually being put in harm's way will be completely incromprehensible to them.

>cyber warfare is the future
>will have Skynets/Patriot AI/Allied Mastercomputers running the show
Lets build cylons.
No. Because the next phase of warfare is fourth generational warfare, which will consist of platoons of high-tech government goons crawling through endless hives of orc-filled favelas arresting terrorists, drug dealers, and the final remnants of white Western civilization
5th gen war. Laser grids and panoptic surveillance with AI command and control, like a nuclear SIOP with precision and speed. The advantage will swing back form insurgents to the state.
blame missiles. Missiles ruin war.
Hate to break it to you, but is closer to correct.
>when you sign up to be a high speed, low drag operator outfitted in the latest and greatest kit, performing high-risk search and destroy ops in the favelas and slums, fighting off hordes of criminals and racking up obscene kill counts
>when your actual job consists of sitting at a checkpoint obtaining biometric data from everyone who passes through so the computer can build a database of citizen routines to analyze for red flags
>That feel when the next war among equally matched powers will inevitably be a nuclear one.
AM stands for Anal Mechanizer
Totally agree. Well, some missiles. I think if missiles were basically slow-traveling high-accuracy artillery shells it wouldn't hurt.
The problem is they made line-of-sight engagements outdated with the exception of infantry/urban warfare.
If it is guided then it ruins war.
Once the electrical grid is out, things will be fun again.
The pendulum swings my friends.
Strategic nuclear warfare and mutually assured destruction will become obsolete in our lifetimes. No more fear of total destruction. Spaced based, and ground based defense systems will make sure of that.
No more limitation of states to express there unmeasurable hatred towards each other. Warfare will become constant once more. Entire Army groups being deployed across multiple theaters. Tactical nuclear, chemical, and biological attacks wiping out entire Divisions becomes common.
The world will soon plunge into a fire of perpetual warfare. Civilizations will fall, and those that remain. Will become unrecognizable to what they once were.
>if only you knew how bad things truly are.
Defense systems for all that shit will soon be so advanced that boots on the ground will be the only way to fight. Can't shoot missiles or nukes because mini-missiles kill them, can't send robots or drones because EMPs, magnets, weather, environment, tricky hacker sand people, etc.
Sucks fighting enemies who aren't dressed as soldiers. Pajama-wearing dudes strapped with bombs and no way to tell the enemy from the common folks is weird. I liked it better when the enemy was in uniform obviously. Fighting countries rather than armed insurgents and tribes, that gets old in a hurry.
oh boy
Soon, war will look like Mad Max written by Tom Clancy & Mike Pondsmith.
You might be surprised that the warrior-praction will nevertheless largely remain the same beyond the new advancements in technology and combat strategy,
Some things won't change, or at least as much we think they will.
MAD becomes irrelevant once we colonize space
Well we can only hope.
SAD BUT TRUUUUUUUEEE
bump
I wonder which cities will be next after Hiroshima nad Nagasaki in the history books
>No. Because the next phase of warfare is fourth generational warfare, which will consist of platoons of high-tech government goons crawling through endless hives of orc-filled favelas arresting terrorists, drug dealers, and the final remnants of white Western civilization
this. The eternal night terrors of the tyrant fearing the mob
Modern nuclear defense is incredibly unreliable. Even a defense system with a 99% success rate still means 50 or so Russian nukes hitting their targets.
MY BODY IS READY
>paratroopers obsolete
airborne is still valid in fact it's fairly recent tide btw
If it has trannys in it, it's obsolete
At least we still have
Air assaults
Gunships
Attack helicopters
CAS (brrrrrrt)
Spooky boys
India,Russia,China and Pakistan start a nuclear war with each other
no more Ivan's,Pajeets,Chnks,or goat-fuckers
Nuclear weapons change the global environment forever
various governments third and first world collapse
>this is the dawn of the new age
Militias form in former countries each vying for limited resources wars or started superpowers fall fall and new nations built
Anyone can pass Airborne school faggot. All you have to do is fall out of a plane 5 times and not twist your ankle.
But to be real, jumping blows. It's a really easy and shitty way to break your body for no good reason.
>special forces actively trespassing in other countries
>Ivan doing recon in Mississippi dressed in normal clothing
>military units enforcing THE LAW
>nobody ever puts a total stop to it because everyone is fucking doing it
>roaming militia groups attempting to weed out Ching the Chinese spec op from Chong the citizen
>militia groups made up of random American middle aged men engaging in massive conflicts with Iranian special forces in Pakistan with the USAF providing drone cover all for no apparent reason
>Africans attempting to assassinate the POTUS over an uprising in some African country that a Brazilian propaganda unit blamed on America
>Australian army units stationed in the far outback to remove foreigner
>random dogfights over mid-air perceived NAP violations
>Lockheed with 300,000 employees, self contained towns and in-house security groups
I'M READY I'M READY
