THE ARMY OF POLAND - THE REALITY [493]
Purpose of tanks (originally) was to breach fortified positions of the enemy (during world war 1).
Nowadays it seems it's being constructed to counter other tanks to a larger degree, while becoming focused on range to a larger degree and offensive capabilities instead of staying a modern sieging ram as it was intended originally.
(A fast moving cannon has it's use, but shouldn't be used as a battering ram. Especially a very expensive one)
While there are lot of cheaply produced weapons and tools countering it. (Explains the success of less developed countries using easily cheaply produced equipment, while being highly motivated to undergo tremendous suffering to beat the enemy).
While U.S.A was heavily depending on support from France and Spain in the revolutionary war to counter a significant navy and masses of line infantry.
Any massing of units in one place, risks a nuclear warhead attack, which is why smaller combat units are more preffered.
The more irregular, and less easily hacked systems are being used the better (especially decentralised systems against an enemy with superb hacking possibilities)
If Russians hack one Ukrainian system among thousands, it has small significance.
If 1 centralized Russian system get hacked, Ukrainians have access to everything, and can use it everywhere
One of the main key sucesses of German Wehrmacht was highly trained and motivated under-officers (Seargents etc) and low ranking officers (lieutenants, captains) given a general plan of action and trusting them with handling the situation until reinforcements were needed, while having as much communication as possible.
While more loyalist corrupted armies tend to wait with performing anything until a order is given from higher ranking officers, useally too late and wrong orders due the threat it's meant to handle has become outdated.
