re: #110 Dark_Falcon

Some things will be changed, but it will depend on who is being fought and in what circumstances. Some the drone systems used against the Taliban could not be used against Iran, because Iran has countermeasures powerful enough to detect and/or destroy them. But even then, recon drones would still provide invaluable service, as would those intended to counter-IEDs. We already use Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) to detect and destroy mines, and some of the UUV exercises run recently were clearly aimed at a possible Iranian threat.

Someday there may be drone tanks and robot infantry soldiers. I wonder if the current pro-military types would approve?
