Artillery still dominates
Despite the visibility of drones and precision weapons, artillery remains the backbone of the war. Range, ammunition stockpiles, and logistics often matter more than headline-grabbing platforms.
Armor, air defense, and logistics
Tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and air defense systems are most effective when supported by resilient logistics and electronic warfare. In practice, the side that can repair, resupply, and rotate forces faster usually gains the advantage.
Drones and electronic warfare
Cheap FPV drones, loitering munitions, and reconnaissance UAVs have changed the pace of combat. At the same time, jamming, spoofing, and air defense have become essential countermeasures.
