U.S. Ally Looks to Buy Chinese J-35 Stealth Jets

"boots on the ground" is not what it means according to you. Infantry has always had air support, artillery and plane rockets and bombs all which will be obsolete in the near future. Robots are in the infant state of development. Grunts did no damage to those Russian bombers Ukraine destroyed.

Yup. I see a future war where adversaries launch hundreds of thousands of drones at each other.

Drones are being manufactured by the millions everywhere around the big blue marble.
 


The boots in the future might belong to robots, not humans
 

The headline is misleading. The US does not have allies anymore.
 

And exactly how much of Ukraine is being occupied at this time by Drones? How much of Russia did Ukraine occupy with drones?

No, the problem is that I know what I am talking about, and you are spinning at the moment. Drones occupy nothing, and you can not occupy anything without boots on the ground.

This spins right back to the claims in the 1950s by General LeMay that infantry was obsolete and future wars would be won by bombers. Well, it's now seven decades later. And Infantry is still needed as much as ever.

This is just a newer spin on the same claim.
 
That BS claim of yours is not supported in the article you quoted.

150 years ago airplanes would be science fiction

100 years ago flying to the moon would be science fiction 50 years ago using drones to destroy bombers 5000 miles away using sim cards would have been science fiction.

Humanoid robots exist, not much is stopping people from adding m4 rifles to them and having them patrol an area for a few hours ( battery upgrades and better autonomous software likely required

Maybe someone could explain that to the Ukrainian and Russian soldiers, etc, that happen to be where a JDAM or FBA1500 gliding bomb lands?

Well, I didn't pen the headline, but I understand that Trump has embraced isolationism (while allowing Putin to slide).
 
Try occupying land that is smothered with bombs from drones. Russia last night landed 500 on Ukraine last night. Show me the list of boots on the ground in Hiroshima and Nagasaki

Russia is occupying quite a bit of land in Ukraine with boots on the ground. Know what they do not occupy? Places they do not have boots on the ground.

Oh, and the attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki could not have happened without the Battle of TInian. A one week battle involving over 40,000 Marines taking the island away from 10,000 Japanese defenders. At the cost of almost 300 Americans, and 6,000 Japanese lives.

Interesting you bring up two cases where bombs were dropped, and completely ignore the land battle that was required in order to provide the runway that those bombers took off from.

Duh, you seemed confused on the concept of the future and the present. I'll omit the past it may blow your mind.
