Modern Weapons Force Armies to Adopt Slow, Attritional Warfare
- Modern weapons make rapid battlefield maneuvers nearly impossible due to their lethality
- Armies will need to advance slowly under defensive "bubbles" to ward off drones and missiles
- Ukraine war shows firepower now dominates maneuver with attacks limited to small gains
- Sustained offensives require complex coordination of systems like jammers and artillery
- Attritional warfare over years may be needed to wear down enemies, requiring mobilization of resources
