   That Russian soldier was spot on.
   What average civilians don't know (because it's not part of the marketing) is the amount of support needed to field a modern army.
   
   If it takes 3 months to get a torsion bar for your tank, that tank is just sitting there, taking up space.
   
   There was a point where I had my hands on just about one quarter of all the ASVs in Iraq, because the generator (basically the alternator) that they came with from the factory couldn't charge the batteries properly, because of all the extra electronic shit that was thrown in afterwards.
   
   The idea that robots and drones are going to radically change war in the next 10 years is absolutely laughable. Don't fall for marketing ploys.

     You can "power" a platoon of humans with some goyslop, sleep and the promise of hookers when coming back.
     
     imagine having to recharge a platoon of 600lbs tins of electronics.
     
     Plus all the maintenance. Each human does his own shooting machine maintenance. Who's gonna clean & oil the orders of magnitude more complex machinery
