Retired U.S. Lieutenant General Compares Drones to WWI Machine Guns, Argues They Are Not the Decisive Weapon of Future Warfare
Retired U.S. Army Lieutenant General Eric Wesley, former commander of the Army Capabilities Integration Center, has published a paper at the Modern War Institute arguing that drones are not the future of warfare — they are a new problem awaiting a solution. Drawing a parallel to the machine gun in World War I, Wesley contends that while drones have frozen the front lines in Ukraine much as machine guns did on the Western Front, they cannot replace infantry in seizing and holding ground.
