The IDF is facing new world problems. In order to assault you must have mass. If you have mass you're vulnerable to enemy fires...

I've noticed that alot of people have been critical of the IDF for massing their forces for the assault on Gaza. I find that interesting. You need mass in order to assault any location (or overwhelming artillery fires but preferably both!). But in massing for the attack they become vulnerable to the new world danger of suicide drones. I'm convinced that the only reason why Hezbollah hasn't targeted these sites is that the Biden admin (much to my surprise) has probably made it clear that they would bombard those launch points. One thing is certain. You can't buy enough air defense to cover your forces. It is apparent from my chair that you need a built in anti-air component to any new armored vehicles being purchased by first world nations. It's been a thing of sci-fi but maybe we'll start seeing 50 cal gatling guns being attached to armored vehicles in the future. Not an elegant solution but it has a high rate of fire and if certain vehicles have AESA mounts perhaps they can be linked to fire on command? Don't know but someone better work this problem.
