The outcome of future wars will depend on drones and AI  - 1

The low cost of production and high efficiency of automated strike drone systems will soon make traditional means of warfare of war, including tanks and artillery, obsolete. “Drone warfare, which represents the future of conflict, will eventually force everyone to get rid of tanks, artillery and mortars. US has thousands of tanks stored somewhere, buy drones instead. If you look at the tactics of drone warfare, you will see that it is changing every day. There are a huge number of tanks in the world. Now these tanks are practically useless. A $5,000 drone can destroy a $5 million tank”, said the American billionaire and former chairman of the board of directors of Google Corporation Eric Schmidt.

The use of drones has completely changed the nature of combat operations in Ukraine, where “low-cost FPV drones remain the dominant means of destroying both manpower and equipment.“

Although drones have “made the battlefield more transparent and dangerous”, traditional means of warfare are still widely used in conflicts around the world, and the exchange of artillery strikes plays a leading role in the confrontation between the countries. the portal notes. According to his estimates, the further development of drones and artificial intelligence technologies will change this situation.
