in the future a 100 dollar drone is better than a million dollar tank and a 25 cent shotgun round is probably the best defense, the world is weird

It's pathetic seeing how much our military is ignoring this. Just do spend a billion dollars - literally - in the Red Sea shooting down cheap drones. And once we run out of SAMS all our expensive F-35s parked on carrier decks will be sitting ducks for freaking Houthis.

Ok, assume it's a real war with China and the Houthis are their allies (as they likely would be if it happened today.) We want to send our carrier groups through the Red Sea. The Houthis send a shitton of drones at our ships just like they are doing now, and we are forced to use hundreds of SAMs to shoot them down, just like we are doing now.

So we exit the Red Sea and our ships no longer have nearly enough SAMs to fight the Chinese. How will the Houthis be wished out of existence in that scenario?

In that scenario the houthi drones don't even take off because their shitty peninsula is blanketed in EW.

So we have EW capabilities to do that now but we're not using them because we like wasting a billion dollars on SAMs?

Why aren't we sharing this amazing technology with Ukraine? They are still having to spend SAMs on shooting down Shahed drones.

Do you know that we have 0000s of combat aircraft that we also aren't sharing with Ukraine, including hundreds that do EW stuff? We also have 0000s of cruise missiles, some of which also do EW stuff.

You may be surprised to learn that what was shared with Ukraine was primitive cold war surplus with the exception of a pair of Patriot systems

I'll let you have the last word after this since this is getting a bit tiresome, but every time we have a capability that Ukraine wants they scream bloody murder for it. There has not been a peep from them about asking for anti-drone EW capability from the US because it DOES NOT EXIST. In fact, the Russians are well ahead of us on EW, and yet Ukraine still destroys most of its equipment with drones.

Now I'm sure you have a reason that you are totally convinced about as to how the US military has a secret weapon against drones that we didn't use against the Houthis and if that makes you feel better then carry on.

There is a lot of anti-drone EW

It is why there are no Hamas drone videos out of Gaza after day 1 of the war

This report has an extensive discussion of anti-drone EW - https://static.rusi.org/403-SR-Russian-Tactics-web-final.pdf

They've performed well in the Red Sea and in Iran's big attack on Israel. They definitely need a range of solutions (from cheap to sophisticated) to deal with drones. I don't think the Houthis or Iran accomplished much despite us being extremely restrained in any strikes. Missile defense gets a bad rap but it's basically saved Israel over the past 20 years and allowed most UKR cities to function relatively normal despite being bombarded by the world's second largest stockpile of missiles.

“If it’s an Army formation, their big advantage is going to be fires: rockets, cannons, joint fires, attack helicopters"

I like how he just casually drops in attack helicopters at the end. Apaches just blasting you forever with every kind of weapon.

Nuclear missiles exist and this retard general is plotting out extensive conventional warfare strategies as if it hasn't all been irrelevant for 80 years other than scuffles with third world countries.
