The new asymmetric reality is mostly short/medium range drones, ECMs and hypersonic missles. Loitering munitions are going to make tanks mostly obsolete and Jets are too expensive to risk over enemy territory that still has working radar/anti-air except for large shock&awe actions.

A lot of this stuff is hard to stop and too cheap to effectively stop economically anyhow, the best solution is distance and preemptive strikes at staging areas.

we have seen .005 radar ap is the most important because drones aren't long range enough in a real war. Ukraine and Russia should be looked at as a local conflict and not indicative how a real "war" would be fought now.
