**TLDR:**
* **A top lawmaker identified the five capabilities he believes the US military needs to innovate in. Those areas are missiles, missile defenses, drones, counter-drone systems, and secure comms.**
* **Rep. Adam Smith, a Washington Democrat and the ranking member of the US House Armed Services Committee, said having the best weapons within those areas is key to winning future wars. The war in Ukraine is showing just how crucial these capabilities are.**
* **Beyond drones and counter-drone tech, the importance of missiles and missile defense are increasingly hot topics among military leaders as US rivals and adversaries, from Russia and China to Iran and North Korea, invest in missiles.**
The next major US war may be against Canada at this rate
Rocks, lots of string and leather, guys named David, and lots of luck.
Whats the point of preparing for a war, when our biggest enemies can just buy the USA presidency and Congress? Even more so, whats the point of fighting wars against anyone, when our CURRENT US president, is dismantling and degrading our warfighting capabilities overnight?
War is good for business. Business is good for the economy. The economy is good for people. Therefore, war is good for people.
Uhh, cyber security on a National level is essential.
“A top defense lawmaker”
wtf is that?
he is a Lawmaker ? he makes Laws as in legal instruments
that deals in defense? is that legal defense is it laws pertaining to defense
either way that is not someone I would ask about future defense trends. he sounds like someone who deals legal stuff.
And before you reply “just read the link ”
I say NO! I will NOT read the article.
A defense Law maker is not a thing
I’m being semi serious here
US between Canada and Mexico with the help of Europe. Good luck hahaha.
Nobody would want to be american right now
“future wars” = invading neighbours and oppressing citizens with force
An important one that shouldn’t be forgotten from the start is to have close & reliable allies. Not only can they help you fight wars, they can help you avoid them in the first place. The US seems determined to forget that
The five keys to winning the next war are
* Dodge
* Duck
* Dip
* Dive
* …. Uh… Dodge
No military tech matters if USA loses the political war to the Russians.
This stuff is already happening, old news in the defense world.
Don’t waste the money.
Take a look at what happened to the Russian military. It’s happening to ours now. The leadership backbone will be gone in a year. The defense contracts will be given to wealthy people who will pocket large chunks and deliver inferior products, with every corner cut, and no quality control.
When the economy collapses, it will not recover because there will be no middle class left. Then what we currently do have equipment wise will start getting cannibalized and downsized in attempt to reduce budget in order to try and maintain our best equipment. Our military is just to big to accomplish that without collapse.
We will never have the money again to field our current military.
