  1.  @checker297  >I believe carriers will become extremely useless as missile denial systems become more prevalent. F-35A's longer-range (1407 km combat radius with internal weapons and internal fuel tank) has reduced the need for USN's aircraft carriers due to following 1. F-35A can execute strikes at entire Iran from Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and UAE. 2. F-35A can execute strikes deep into European majority Russian population centers from Poland, Baltics, and Romania. 2. F-35A can execute strikes deep into Venezuela from Puerto Rico, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Anguilla, Montserrat.

  2. Against drones, the army needs something like Israel's Iron Beam.

  3.  @whiskeyyy5746  Turkish Leopards are obsolete 2A4 variants. Leopard 2A7+ has an Israeli Trophy active defense system. 17 German Army tanks will be fitted with the Trophy system with integration planned to be completed in 2023. US Army's M1A2 SEP V3 has an Israeli Trophy active defense system and they are manufactured in higher numbers when compared to the Russians. The advanced system needs matured chip fabrication and a deep learning/GpGPU/FPGA software industry. US companies AMD and Intel have the world's ranked 1 and 2 FPGA companies. Qualcomm, AMD, and Intel dominate mass iGPU technologies.

  4.  @flyingbusa3407  Russia's Ukraine adventure resembles Saddam's Iraq military.

  5.  @Eureka092  The US has more than 164,000 trucks and 125,000 Humvees (being replaced by Joint Light Tactical Vehicle, or JLTV). The US has Humvees nearly for each Russian soldier in Ukraine.

  6. The US has a "super-soldier" program.

  7.  @Literaltile  Anti-drone involves lasers that fire cheap destructive energy beams.

  8.  @DontAttme  "Battleships" can return as multiple high-powered laser weapon platforms. Need large mobile power generation to power multiple laser weapons. In terms of displacement, several cutting-edge so-called destroyers are in WW2 era medium cruiser level displacement. Missile guided/air warfare destroyers(with yesteryear's cruiser level displacement), SSBN, SSGN, and aircraft carriers have largely replaced battleships and battlecruisers.

  9.  @checker297  Large battleships and battlecruisers lack submarine stealth. Modern submarines are effectively stealthy missile-guided platforms.

  10.  @LockheedC-130HerculesOfficial  Israeli Iron Beam counter drones. Israeli Trophy active defense system counter Javelins. These systems are developed by Rafael, funded by the MoD, and extensively underwritten by the United States. Unlike the Russians, the US has the economic and chip fabrication power to implement them in useful numbers.

  11.  @gae_wead_dad_6914  US Army is doing both sides of the argument.
